Merge Columns lets you combine multiple columns into a single output column using priority-based fallback logic. Databar picks the first non-empty value from your ordered list of source columns, giving you a clean, consolidated result.
Merge Columns is a transformation. It does not consume any credits.

When to use

When the same data point exists across multiple columns (often because you enriched from different providers), you end up with fragmented values. For example, you might have a company name from Apollo, another from Clearbit, and a third from your CRM import. Merge Columns resolves this into one authoritative column.

How to use

1

Add a Merge Columns transformation

Open your table, add a new transformation column, and select Merge Columns.
2

Select columns in priority order

Choose the columns you want to merge. The order matters. Databar will use the first non-empty value it finds, working from top to bottom.
3

View the result

A new column appears with the best available value for each row.

Example

Suppose you have three columns for company website:
Website (Apollo)Website (Clearbit)Website (Import)
-acme.comacme.io
globex.com-globex.net
With Merge Columns set to priority order Apollo → Clearbit → Import, the result column would contain:
Merged Website
acme.com
globex.com
The first non-empty value wins.
