Common questions

How do I merge two spreadsheets on a common column?

Pick both files, pick the shared key — an order ID, an email, a SKU — and the join runs. No formula, and no dragging a lookup down ten thousand rows.

What happens to rows that don't match?

They're flagged rather than hidden. A VLOOKUP returns #N/A and gets filtered away, which is exactly how unmatched records quietly disappear from a report; here they're shown so you can decide what to do.

Can I join on more than one column?

Yes — a composite key of two or more columns, which is what you need when a single field isn't unique, like date plus store.

Merge two files in seconds

Pick the key, pick the join, and get one clean table — no VLOOKUP, no #N/A.
