Join Columns
The Join tool lets you combine the values of two columns into a new column, with an optional separator. This is useful when you want to merge fields likeFirst Name + Last Name, or City + State.
Key Features
- Flexible column selection – Choose any two columns to join by index.
- Custom separator – Insert a string between the joined values (e.g. a space, comma, or “-”).
- Row range control – Specify the starting row. The join will apply from that row to the end of the dataset.
- Appends new column – The joined values are added as a new column at the end of each row; original columns remain unchanged.
How to Use
- Open the Join Columns dialog.
- Enter the Start Row (row index where joining should begin).
- Select the First Column and Second Column to join.
- Optionally, enter a Separator (e.g. space, comma, underscore).
- Click Apply – a new column with the joined values will be added to your dataset.
