- Click Start Merge to run the merge.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: WPS generates the merged result and shows the consolidated data in the target location.
- What you can do next: You can review the result, save the document, or re-merge after source data changes.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: If source worksheets have very different column structures, the merged result may become misaligned.
- Environment note: If you want the result to stay in sync, turn on Data auto update during the first merge.
3. Re-merge an existing result
Entry path: Data tab → Merge Tables → Re-merge
- After the source worksheet data changes, open the document that needs to be refreshed.
- Click the Merge Tables button on the Data tab.
- Select Re-merge from the drop-down menu.
- Wait while WPS refreshes the result with the previous merge settings.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The existing merged result is refreshed with the latest data.
- What you can do next: You can keep using the result sheet without selecting the sources and options again.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: If the first merge was never completed, you cannot use Re-merge directly.
- Environment note: The source data must remain accessible for the refresh to work normally.
