About This Feature
Overview
Merge Tables is a spreadsheet data consolidation feature in WPS Office for iOS. It is designed to combine data from multiple worksheets or multiple files with the same structure into a single worksheet.
Key benefits include:
- Consolidate scattered data by bringing similar worksheet content into one place.
- Expand merge sources by adding matching files from cloud storage or local storage.
- Reduce repeated headers by setting header-row filtering before the merge starts.
This feature is useful for periodic report consolidation, cross-file data collection, and quick spreadsheet cleanup on mobile devices.

| Capability Summary | Supports selecting source data from worksheets in the current file and from matching cloud or local files on iOS, then running the merge after setting header-row filtering. | The Microsoft Word product page focuses on document editing, collaboration, templates, and AI-assisted writing. It does not describe a worksheet merge flow for spreadsheet data on iOS. | The Google Docs page focuses on drafting, refining, summarizing, asking questions, and working with images and tables in documents. It does not describe merging multiple worksheets or files into one spreadsheet sheet. | Notion table view is designed for database-style organization, bulk row editing, sorting, and calculations. It is not presented as a traditional spreadsheet worksheet merge tool. | Adobe Acrobat supports combining multiple files into one PDF and organizing pages, which is different from merging worksheet data into one spreadsheet sheet. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Built for spreadsheet consolidation tasks on iOS. Distinct: It lets you add merge sources from worksheets, cloud files, and local files, and set header-row filtering before merging. | Compared with WPS: the official page does not describe a direct in-sheet worksheet merge entry for mobile spreadsheet consolidation. | Compared with WPS: the official page centers on document writing and AI assistance rather than spreadsheet-style multi-sheet consolidation. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with database record management than worksheet merge workflows. | Compared with WPS: Adobe combines files or PDF pages rather than worksheet data ranges. |

Overall Conclusion
If your goal is to merge spreadsheet data from multiple worksheets or similarly structured files on iOS, WPS is more closely aligned with that workflow. The other products cover document writing, database organization, or PDF combination, but their official pages describe different task types.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Challenge | How WPS Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 3 | Repeated header cleanup | Users who often combine split reports | Repeated headers affect later analysis after merging | Set header-row filtering before starting the merge |
| 4 | Mobile spreadsheet cleanup | Users working away from a desktop | It is inconvenient to consolidate spreadsheets on a computer | Complete selection, setup, and merging directly on iOS |
| 5 | Weekly report archiving | Team leads | Multiple similarly structured reports arrive every week | Merge them into one file for review and record keeping |
