#CSV Merge | ||
|
||
Basic Usage | ||
----------- | ||
|
||
![Main window](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2375486/65368444-a97ba500-dc5e-11e9-96a0-40143940efe2.png) | ||
|
||
Add files by dragging and dropping them into the window. | ||
You can also drag in whole folders and they will be recursively searched for csv files. This is useful when the actual files are structured like 'Project/Outputs/BOM.csv'. | ||
|
||
You can delete files by selecting entries from the list and hitting the delete key. You can select all by dragging or using `Ctrl+A`. | ||
|
||
Drag and drop multiple times in case you missed something. Files won't be duplicated. | ||
|
||
Merging | ||
------- | ||
|
||
![Files added](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2375486/65368762-e5186e00-dc62-11e9-8fab-311041e63074.png) | ||
|
||
Once the files are added, just hit merge. | ||
|
||
Some files may have a different number of headers, or the columns may be in a different order. Select one of the entries to choose which file's column order to use as output. | ||
|
||
**Note** | ||
|
||
The merged output will have a column inserted named (Source) which will contain the name of the file that contained the row. | ||
|
||
|
||
Consolidation | ||
-------------- | ||
|
||
As with merge, select one of the files to choose a column order. | ||
|
||
![Consolidation screen](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2375486/65369354-86a2be00-dc69-11e9-9bbf-6da6978e219f.png) | ||
|
||
From the list choose one or more columns to *act as a key*. | ||
The combination of key fields will be used to determine the number of rows. | ||
|
||
Click on one of the `Combine` fields to choose the type of operation. | ||
|
||
###Combine operations | ||
|
||
####`Union` | ||
Set union, which discards duplicates | ||
`A, A, B, C, A, B, D` becomes `A, B, C, D` | ||
|
||
####`Join` | ||
Joins all fields with the specified separator - if none is specified, a semicolon `;` is used | ||
|
||
####`Total` | ||
Sums all the fields together. A numeric type is expected. | ||
