When using WPS Merge Tables, the most common questions are about entry points, membership requirements, and preparation before merging; this FAQ includes 4 common questions and a glossary.
FAQ
Why can I see the Merge Tables entry but not use it directly?
- Confirm that you are working in WPS Spreadsheet rather than another WPS app.
- Check whether the selected merge method is marked as requiring membership.
- Sign in with a WPS account that includes the required membership benefits, then open the feature again.
What should I prepare before merging tables?
- Check whether the source worksheets or workbooks contain complete data.
- Keep the sheet structure clear so the merged result is easier to verify.
- If you plan to merge by same sheet name or by same column content, confirm that the names and column values fit the task.
What should I do if merging a large amount of data is slow?
- Wait for the current task to finish and avoid clicking OK repeatedly.
- Close files that are not needed for the current task.
- If you need to process many files, merge them in batches and review the result step by step.
How do I choose the right merge method?
- If you want to collect multiple data sources into one sheet, choose Merge into One Worksheet.
- If multiple sources use the same worksheet names, choose Merge Worksheets by Same Sheet Name or Consolidate Workbooks by Same Sheet Name.
- If you need to align data by matching fields, choose Match and Merge Sheet Data by Same Column Content.
