Is there a way to merge or combine existing sheets?

Post by jourdo » Thu Mar 10, 2016 11:50 am

I am trying to find a lazy way around this, and I don't think it exists.

I want to modify some of my sheets and combine info that is currently on 2 different sheets into 1 (combine my medical and dental history forms into a new sheet). They are both classified as medical history, so I don't see that as an issue. Is there an easy way to take the info off of sheet 1 and put it on to sheet 2 and maintain its formatting?

Thanks!

You are correct in the thinking of it not existing. This would be a feature request.

You could try and manually do it by exporting both sheets (turns them into XML) and then manually splice them together (hope you understand XML) and them Import the new Frankenstein XML file. This will be kind of dicey and I don't guarantee anything but that's how I would approach this if I were to do it on my own without programming something new.
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
