Introduction

Gigasheet makes it easy to combine or merge many sheets into a singular sheet.  This is useful if you have consolidate smaller sets of data into one larger sheet. For example, you may have reports from the years 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. Gigasheet provides a tool where you can join all the files into a singular file for analysis.
