Thanks for the tip. Answer is at 1:13 — everything before that was fluff.

I can't move the columns because it complained that row one is a merged cell (it contains the title). Is there a trick to handle this or I am going to have to do the 3 step you mentioned you don't have to do at the start of the video?

[zennerdnitro]

It just says "There's already data here. Do you want to replace it?". It doesn't want to let me drop in between columns, maybe I'm missing something?

[sylviah]

This was the easiest explanation. Thanks

Excellent pace to follow and grasp the lesson. It is the best I tried.

Hello! When I try this I get an error message that the operation cannot be completed for one of the following reasons.

- A selection including cells both inside a table and below it cannot be copied and inserted into that table. Select cells outside the table and try inserting the data again.
• You have attempted to fill data in a way not supported by the table

I have multiple spreadsheets that I would like to merge and the columns are all different. They are being fed from a Power Automate flow so I am nervous to use "cut and paste".

Thoughts appreciated!
