- In short
- Append Selected Tables turns the tables that share a column layout into one combined list. The header row is written once and records are stacked in table order. The source tables are read and none of them is modified. The output is a static copy; rerun the append to pick up rows added to the sources later.
What it is for
Append Selected Tables is used to stack several picked ranges/tables into one output table.
When to use it
Used to fold same-layout region or period tables into a single list, or to merge scattered records before reporting.
Example scenarios
- Combine same-structure tables from different sheets.
What it needs
≥2 range picks (add/continue/cancel loop) + output cell; single-cell/duplicate picks re-prompt; overlap refused, overwrite confirm. Supported data types: text, number, date (by selection).
How to use it
- Check that the tables to combine have matching column layouts.
- Open Append Selected Tables from the Combine and Get group on the XLMind Plus tab.
- Mark the tables to include and set the output location.
- Confirm; a single-header combined list is created and the source tables stay put.
What it produces
One combined table.
Effect on your data and undo
Append Selected Tables does not change your source data; the result is added as a separate item. Undo Last rolls the change back in a single step.
How it differs from similar tools
It works without formulas and never touches the source range; the result is produced separately, so the original table keeps its formulas intact.
Good to know
Overwrite confirmation; confirmation for large operations. Single cell only; size limits (≥2 range picks (add/continue/cancel loop).
Limitations
Single cell only; size limits.
Frequently asked questions
- Where is the output written?
- One combined table.
- What happens to invalid or unexpected values?
- Column-structure mismatch → nothing written + named source.
- Does the result stay linked to the source?
- The result is a snapshot of the data at run time; after bigger edits, run the tool again for a current view.
- Any known limits?
- Single cell only; size limits (≥2 range picks (add/continue/cancel loop).
Works well with
- When the tables live on separate sheets, use Append Worksheets
- To pull several fields out of the combined list, use Multi Lookup
- To spot duplicate records after combining, use Highlight Duplicates
