Frequently asked questions
What is Merge Values and what do I need it for?
The add-on shows its best when you want to bring text parts together. If you have names and addresses or any other data in different cells, joining two columns or rows into one will take seconds with this tool.
Doesn't Google provide a free way to merge cells?
It does. But, alas, it preserves only the top-leftmost value erasing other records within the range.
You can always turn for help to the CONCATENATE function to bring the text together. But you'll have to create the formulas for each row and column that you want to join.
With our add-on, you won't lose any information and save time on entering endless formulas.
