About This Feature
Overview
Merge Tables is a built-in spreadsheet feature in WPS Office for Windows. It is used to combine data from multiple worksheets or multiple workbooks into a unified result for summary, review, and analysis.
Its main capabilities include:
- Merge into One Worksheet: combine data from multiple source sheets into a single worksheet.
- Merge Worksheets by Same Sheet Name: process multiple worksheets or workbooks in batches based on matching sheet names.
- Match and Merge Sheet Data by Same Column Content: align and merge data based on matching column content.
This feature is useful for monthly reporting, store-level summaries, department records, and recurring multi-file data consolidation. Before merging, it is helpful to confirm that the source sheets are organized clearly so the result is easier to review.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Designed for spreadsheet data consolidation, with options such as Merge into One Worksheet, Merge Worksheets by Same Sheet Name, Match and Merge Sheet Data by Same Column Content, Consolidate into One Workbook, Consolidate Workbooks by Same Sheet Name, and Merge Workbooks. | Microsoft Word officially supports comparing and merging two document versions, with a focus on revision-based document merging rather than multi-worksheet data consolidation. | Google Docs focuses on online document creation, collaboration, comments, version history, and importing common file types. Its official product page does not describe a desktop-style multi-sheet merge flow like WPS Spreadsheet. | Notion Docs focuses on collaborative writing, comments, table of contents, embedded content, and document organization. Its official product information centers on docs and workspace content rather than spreadsheet batch merging. | Adobe Acrobat officially supports combining multiple files into one PDF. Its focus is file combination for PDF workflows rather than worksheet data matching and consolidation. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: built directly for spreadsheet summary work. Distinct: one feature entry provides several merge and consolidation methods for worksheets, workbooks, and column-based matching. | Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft page here focuses on document version comparison and revision merging. | Compared with WPS: the official Google page emphasizes online collaboration and document authoring, not the same spreadsheet merge workflow. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with collaborative documentation and knowledge organization than worksheet merge operations. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is aligned with combining files into a single PDF, not with worksheet-level data merge operations. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main task is to consolidate data from multiple worksheets or workbooks into one structured result, WPS is more closely aligned with spreadsheet merge workflows. The other products are useful in their own areas, but their official pages here focus on document collaboration, document revision merging, or PDF file combination.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main challenge | Recommended approach |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Monthly data summary | Admin, finance, and operations staff | Data is spread across multiple sheets and manual copying takes time | Use Merge into One Worksheet to centralize the data |
| 2 | Batch consolidation of same-name sheets | Staff handling multi-store or multi-department reports | Similar structures across many files make one-by-one processing inefficient | Use Merge Worksheets by Same Sheet Name or Consolidate Workbooks by Same Sheet Name |
| 3 | Matching data by columns | Data整理 staff | Data from different sources must be aligned by matching fields | Use Match and Merge Sheet Data by Same Column Content |
| 4 | Multi-workbook archiving | Project assistants and audit support staff | Workbooks are stored separately and are hard to review together | Use Consolidate into One Workbook or Merge Workbooks |
| 5 | Recurring report preparation | Teams that repeat similar reporting tasks | The same consolidation steps must be repeated regularly | Reuse the same feature entry to complete similar merge tasks faster |
