MergeColumns
Combines two or more columns into a single text column, joining each row's values with a delimiter. The merged column takes the place of the first column in your list, the originals are removed, and everything else stays put. A common use is building a composite key (entity plus account, or customer plus date) before matching tables.

| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Columns | β | Choose one or more columns from the connected table. Comma-separated list of at least two columns to combine, in the order their values should appear (e.g. Entity,Account). |
Delimiter | β | Text placed between the values, such as - or a space. Leave blank to run the values together with nothing in between. |
Example
Your Ledger table has Entity and Account columns, but your mapping table
keys on a combined code like US01-4000. Set Columns to Entity,Account and
Delimiter to -. The result, with a new Entity_Account column, appears as
its own tab. Rename it to match the mapping table and it is ready for a Join.
Tips
- The merged column is named from the originals joined with underscores
(
Entity_Account); use RenameColumns if you want something shorter. - Blank cells merge as empty text, so
US01with a blank account becomesUS01-.
