Whether you combine data with or without a formula, you can have the result sorted by any number of columns A>Z or Z>A. - Scenarios. Save the options you use most often and give this set a name – this is your scenario. Once you run it, your data will be processed right away, and you won't need to go over the same steps again. - Share saved scenarios. Export and import your saved scenarios to share them with your teammates or just make their backups on your Drive or computer. - New place for your resulting files: browse your Drive and pick a certain folder. Improvements: - The formula ignored sheets that didn't have the required columns. Now these sheets are included in the result in case the required data appears in future. - Combine even more sheets using the formula since we adjusted it so it's harder to reach the limit for 50k characters for formulas. - Minor UX improvements. Fixed: - The formula didn't work if empty sheets were included in the result for possible future use. ***** V1.7 (30 Aug 2024) ***** ★ New features ★ - You can now select columns to combine. Make the add-on auto-detect common columns across the sheets or pick desired columns manually. - Optionally have sheet names in a new column to the right of your result table so you always have an idea where that data came from. Improved: - Pulls notes associated with cells to the result as well. - When combining as values, the result will inherit some formatting of the original cells: vertical alignment, column width, row height, wrapping, and data validation. - Minor UX and UI improvements. Fixed: - If there were 3 or more columns with identical headers, their content could get lost in the result. - Cut zeros and leading spaces from the names of the combined sheets on the 'Connect files to IMPORTRANGE' sheet. - Couldn't process data that contained some non-printing characters. - Couldn't process sheets that had a plus symbol (+) in their names. ***** V1.6 (23 December 2023) ***** Improved: - When you add sheets to the result using a formula, they are now being added to the end of the whole table. - It's now possible to look for the files in the folder with Starred items of your Drive. - The limit for total cells in a spreadsheet is expanded to 10 million cells. - Minor UX improvements. Fixed: - The option 'Add to the result' replaced the existing formula instead of updating it. - Treated the same headers written in different cases as distinct ones and didn't combine them. - Unlike the formula, treated different columns with blank headers as distinct ones. - Changed the Date format in the combined data. - Couldn't locate spreadsheets in Drive if your search name started with an apostrophe. - The add-on couldn't paste data into the file without a set time zone. ***** V1.5 (18 October 2021) ***** ★ New features ★ - Quickly add more files to the existing result with a corresponding new option. No need to combine all sheets all over again. Just select the new sheets you want to add to the result and the result itself. Select the previously combined data as the one to update and the add-on will do the rest. Visit the help page for all the details. Improved: - Significant performance improvements in processing large amounts of data. - Minor UX improvements. Fixed: - Placing the resulting formula into your custom location removed existing conditional formatting, Data validation rules and comments. ***** V1.4 (5 May 2021) ***** Improved: - Performance improvements in processing large amounts of data. - Minor UX and UI improvements. Fixed: - Didn't accept custom ranges entered from the keyboard. - Didn't work if you chose to preserve formatting but one of your tables contained headers with blank colored rows. - Minor UX issues. ***** V1.3 ***** ★ New features ★ - One more way to combine data – with a formula! Have the add-on build a formula to join all existing and future records from the chosen sheets together. The formula is always connected to your original files. Hence, all source changes, all new cells, rows and columns will appear in the combined table automatically. Make sure to visit the help page for more details. Improved: - Minor UX improvements. Fixed: - In some cases, the add-on couldn't combine lots of spreadsheets and fired error. Now it offers you to try and process data again or email our customer support service. - Couldn't add files from Drive if they were previously excluded from the add-on tree-view. - Used to add only up to 10 files from Shared Drive. - Minor UI issues. ***** V1.2 ***** Improved: - When picking spreadsheets from Drive, files and folders are now sorted A>Z. - The limit for cells has been increased to 5M cells. - UI: elements don't overlap anymore for DPI 200%. Fixed: - The add-on counted the resulting cells incorrectly and exceeded the limit for 5M cells every time the option 'Consider table headers' was not selected. - Didn't work with a one-column range if 'All data' was selected to combine. - Accepted the incorrect range for a custom location for the results. ***** V1.1 ***** Fixed: - Wrong selected range if server response time was slow. - Modifying date format after combining. - The message "The entered range is incorrect" kept showing even after the range was corrected. - Minor UI issues.
