About This Feature

Overview

Merge Tables in WPS on macOS helps you combine data from multiple worksheets or multiple documents into one worksheet for cross-sheet consolidation.

Core tasks include:

Open the Merge Tables entry: go to the Data tab and open the Merge Tables menu.
Merge multiple worksheets for the first time: choose source sheets and set options such as headers, duplicate removal, and output location.
Re-merge an existing result: refresh the consolidated result after source data changes.

This feature fits team reporting, recurring summary work, and multi-sheet data collection. It reduces repeated copy-and-paste work and helps keep the summary sheet aligned with the selected merge settings.

Capability Summary	Merge Tables in WPS Spreadsheet can combine data from multiple worksheets or documents into one worksheet, with options such as keeping headers, removing duplicate rows, marking data sources, auto-updating data, and re-merging results.	Microsoft's official Word page here focuses on merging and splitting table cells inside a document table, which is table layout editing rather than cross-worksheet data consolidation.	Google Docs officially supports adding, editing, sorting, moving, merging, and splitting table cells in documents, but this page does not describe consolidating multiple worksheets into one summary sheet.	Notion officially supports Relations and Rollups to connect databases and aggregate properties across them, which is useful for database-style summaries rather than a direct spreadsheet merge workflow.	Adobe Acrobat officially supports combining multiple files into one PDF, which is useful for document packaging rather than merging worksheet rows into an editable spreadsheet result.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps the workflow inside a spreadsheet environment and supports source marking, duplicate removal, auto-update, and re-merge in one feature path.	Compared with WPS: this Microsoft page is centered on cell structure editing in Word tables and does not describe a similar multi-worksheet consolidation flow.	Compared with WPS: this Google Docs page is centered on document table editing and structure management, not a worksheet merge workflow that outputs a consolidated sheet.	Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for relational database summaries, while WPS is more direct for spreadsheet users who want to merge worksheet data into one sheet.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is oriented to file-level PDF combination, while WPS keeps tabular data editable after consolidation.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to consolidate data from multiple worksheets or documents directly inside a spreadsheet, WPS provides a more direct workflow for that task. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe each cover related table, database, or document scenarios, but their official pages here address different goals from spreadsheet data consolidation.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable for	Main pain point	How WPS helps
1	Team data consolidation	Team collaborators	Multiple people maintain separate source sheets and manual consolidation takes time	Use Merge Tables to combine multiple source worksheets into one result sheet
2	Weekly or monthly reporting	Operations, admin, and finance users	Repeated copying can cause omissions	Build a summary sheet once, then use Re-merge to refresh it
3	Duplicate cleanup after consolidation	Data coordinators	Repeated rows may appear after combining multiple sheets	Select Remove duplicate rows during the merge
4	Source tracking	Project owners	It can be hard to tell where each row came from after consolidation	Select Mark data source during the merge
5	Ongoing summary maintenance	Collaborative teams	Source updates do not automatically appear in the result	Use Auto-update data or run Re-merge when needed
