Introduction

Gigasheet makes it easy to combine or merge many sheets into a singular sheet. This is useful if you have consolidate smaller sets of data into one larger sheet. For example, you may have reports from the years 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. Gigasheet provides a tool where you can join all the files into a singular file for analysis.

Combining Files Requirements

Consider the following when combining the files:

Column Headers	Column Order	Column Data Types
To ensure your data matches, ensure the Column Headers are the same across two files. You can rename column headers by Selecting the Header > Selecting Rename. For more information, click here.	The order of your column will affect how your data is combined. To ensure your columns match, make sure to re-order them by using the left hand panel. There, you can click and drag column headers. For more information, click here.	Each column will have a data type associated with it. Before combining sheets, you will want to ensure these data types match. You can view data types in the headers of each column. To change a data type, go under Data Cleanup > Change Data Type. For more information, click here.
