Frequently asked questions
This page downloads WPS Office. Features vary by platform, version and plan.
Will joining cells merge or delete the source columns?
No. A concatenation formula returns text in a separate cell. Keep the source fields so you can correct and recompute the label.
What is included in the combine cell text starter?
An original editable XLSX example with first name, last name, department, combined label and task instructions. Sample names are fictional. Joined text is a formula result, not a destructive merge.
Where do I edit the workbook?
Download the starter and open it in WPS Spreadsheets. Editing happens in the app; this page does not process or upload your workbook. Save an XLSX copy to keep working, or export a reviewed view as PDF.
What happens when I select the download button?
On Windows or macOS, WPS starts the app download. On Linux, copy the installation command or choose a manual package. On iPhone, iPad, Android or Chromebook, continue to the appropriate app store. This page does not upload, convert or edit your files.
