Column Merger

Combine several columns into one with a custom separator.

Join first and last name, or build a full address from parts, without writing a CONCATENATE formula. Choose the separator, decide how blanks are handled, and place the merged column wherever you want in the sheet.

Common problems and fixes

Extra separators appear where a column is empty.

Turn on “Skip blanks” so consecutive separators collapse into one.

Dates merge as serial numbers.

Switch from raw to formatted value mode, or run the Date Formatter on the column first.
