How to Merge Data From Multiple Cells in Smartsheet

Use this interactive demo to learn how to combine data from multiple cells using a formula in Smartsheet.

Quick summary

In Smartsheet, you can merge data from multiple cells into one by writing a simple concatenation formula using the equals and plus signs in Grid View. This method lets teams consolidate information across columns without losing the source data.


Steps

  1. Inside Smartsheet's Grid View, select a cell and type an equals (=) sign to begin entering a formula.
  2. Tap the first cell that contains the data you want to combine.
  3. Go back to the formula cell and add a plus (+) sign to extend the formula.
  4. Tap the second cell you want to merge into the formula.
  5. Review the formula, then press the Enter or Return key to run it.
  6. The data from the selected cells will now be merged into one cell as a combined result.

📌 Why this matters

Merging data from multiple cells in Smartsheet lets teams consolidate information from separate columns — such as names and IDs — into a single, unified field without manually retyping content. This formula-based approach saves time, reduces data entry errors, and keeps sheets clean and easy to read. For project managers and operations teams working with large datasets, the ability to combine cell data directly in Smartsheet's Grid View improves reporting accuracy and workflow efficiency. It is a foundational skill for anyone building structured, data-rich sheets in Smartsheet.
