Overview for Stack Worksheets

Use Stack Worksheets to combine two or more open worksheets that have columns with identical names. Data from the columns with the same names are stacked.

For example, a quality engineer records operator and part information for two plants in separate worksheets. The engineer combines the information by stacking the worksheets. The extra column from Plant2.MTW is included.
