Using the Separator Function:

The separator function allows users to specify how they want the merged results to be separated.

• Purpose: The separator function allows you to specify how you want the merged results to be separated.
• Functionality: After merging the items (or data) from multiple lists or columns, the separator is used to distinguish between each combined item in the result.
• Customization: Users can choose from predefined separators like hyphen (-), underscore (_), comma (,), space ( ), etc. Additionally, they can input their custom separator by choosing the custom option if the predefined options don't suit their needs.

Example:

Suppose we have two columns with fruits and colors:

1. Fruits: Apple, Banana, Orange
2. Colors: Red, Yellow, Green

• Merge Result without Separator: AppleRed, AppleYellow, AppleGreen, BananaRed, BananaYellow, BananaGreen, OrangeRed, OrangeYellow, OrangeGreen
• Merge Result with Hyphen Separator: Apple-Red, Apple-Yellow, Apple-Green, Banana-Red, Banana-Yellow, Banana-Green, Orange-Red, Orange-Yellow, Orange-Green
• Merge Result with Pipe Separator: Apple|Red, Apple|Yellow, Apple|Green, Banana|Red, Banana|Yellow, Banana|Green, Orange|Red, Orange|Yellow, Orange|Green

Understanding Different Merge Types:

When you're merging your data, there are three main methods you can choose from: Default (row-wise), Combination, and Cartesian Product. Let's break down each one:

1. Default (row-wise) Merge Method:

   This method combines data row by row across different columns. Imagine you have columns for colors, shapes, and numbers. The default merge pairs up the corresponding items from each row, starting with the first row in each column and moving down.

   Example: Using three (3) Columns

   • Colors (Red, Blue, Green)
   • Shapes (Square, Circle)
   • Numbers (1, 2, 3, 4)
   Result:
   • Red + Square + 1 = RedSquare1
   • Blue + Circle + 2 = BlueCircle2
   • Green + [Empty] + 3 = Green3
   • [Empty] + [Empty] + 4 = 4

2. Combination [(A+B)+(B+A)] Merge Method:

   This method is straightforward. It combines items from two columns in every possible way. For instance, if you have colors and shapes, it pairs each color with each shape and vice versa.

   Example: Using two (2) Columns

   • Colors (Red, Blue, Green)
   • Shapes (Square, Circle)
   Result:
   • Red + Square = RedSquare
   • Square + Red = SquareRed
   • Red + Circle = RedCircle
   • Circle + Red = CircleRed
   • Blue + Square = BlueSquare
   • Square + Blue = SquareBlue
   • Blue + Circle = BlueCircle
   • Circle + Blue = CircleBlue
   • Green + Square = GreenSquare
   • Square + Green = SquareGreen
3. Cartesian Product Merge Method:

   This method creates all possible combinations by systematically pairing items from different sets. For example, if you have colors, shapes, and numbers, it pairs each color with each shape and each number.

   Example: Using two (2) Columns

   • Colors (Red, Blue, Green)
   • Shapes (Square, Circle)
   Result:
   • Red + Square = RedSquare
   • Red + Circle = RedCircle
   • Blue + Square = BlueSquare
   • Blue + Circle = BlueCircle
   • Green + Square = GreenSquare
   • Green + Circle = GreenCircle

   Example: Using three (3) Columns

   • Colors (Red, Blue, Green)
   • Shapes (Square, Circle)
   • Numbers (1, 2)
   Result:
   • Red + Square + 1 = RedSquare1
   • Red + Square + 2 = RedSquare2
   • Red + Circle + 1 = RedCircle1
   • Red + Circle + 2 = RedCircle2
   • Blue + Square + 1 = BlueSquare1
   • Blue + Square + 2 = BlueSquare2
   • Blue + Circle + 1 = BlueCircle1
   • Blue + Circle + 2 = BlueCircle2
   • Green + Square + 1 = GreenSquare1
   • Green + Square + 2 = GreenSquare2
   • Green + Circle + 1 = GreenCircle1
   • Green + Circle + 2 = GreenCircle2

Each method offers a unique way to merge your data, depending on your needs.
