How to Merge Duplicate Rows in Excel Without Losing Data

Are you struggling to merge duplicate rows in Excel without losing valuable data? You're not alone! Merging multiple rows can be a complex task, but fear not, for we have a simple solution that will save you time and effort.

In this article, we'll show you how to use the To Actual feature of Kutools for Excel to remove formulas and merge results with just one click. But before we dive into that, let's take a look at some alternative methods you can use.

Method 1: Copying Formulas and Pasting Values

If you have multiple rows that need to be merged, you can select the formula cells, copy them using Ctrl + C keys, and then right-click on the selected formula cells and click 'Value' from the context menu. This will remove the formulas but preserve the merging result.

Method 2: Using Concatenation Formulas

Another way to merge rows is by using concatenation formulas. For example, if you want to merge rows with spaces between the data, you can use a formula like this:

=A1&' '&A2&' '&A3&' '&A4&…

If you prefer not to have spaces between the data, you can use a formula like this:

=A1&A2&A3&A4&…

Example Scenario

Suppose you have some data in Excel, and now you need to merge rows into one row. For instance, you want to get the following result:

John Smith | 123 Main St | New York

How do you achieve this? Here's where our formulas come in handy.

By using the methods mentioned above, you can easily merge your duplicate rows without losing any data. Whether you're dealing with multiple rows or complex data structures, we have a solution for you.
