Inconsistent merge results
I am retrieving data from an Excel spreadsheet where the column is formatted
"General" (I've also tried formatting as "Text") The data in this column are variations of room numbers (e.g., B-13, 121, 140-A) When performing the merge, some room numbers showed up as "0" (zero) There is no identifiable condition/trend that would make some rooms "0" (i.e., a "0" may/may not follow another room expressed properly and/or the same room number). Actual merged data with correct Excel data: MERGED DATA EXCEL DATA COMMENT Building Room Room 1422 110 110 1422 110 110 1422 110 110 1422 110 110 1422 110 110 1422 110 110 1422 190 190 1422 190 190 1422 190 190 1422 132 132 1422 130 130 1422 190 190 1422 132 132 1422 140 140 1422 132 132 1422 136 136 1422 190 190 1422 141 141 1422 190 190 1422 141 141 1422 132 132 1422 132 132 1422 190 190 1422 123 123 1422 130 130 1422 130 130 1422 191 191 1422 132 132 1422 190 190 201 0 126 201 0 130 201 0 128-D 201 0 126 201 128 128 201 0 130B 201 122 122 Once a 0 not always a 0 201 0 122 201 0 122 201 122 122 201 122 122 201 0 132 201 0 132 201 0 132 201 0 132 201 0 132 810 0 B-13 Perhaps coincidental, 810 0 B-13 no room with a letter 810 0 B-13 is merged properly 810 0 B-13 (but not all improperly 810 0 B-13 merged rooms contain 810 0 B-13 letters) 810 0 B-13 810 0 B-13 810 0 B-13 1422 103 103 (New bldg merged properly) 1422 0 105 1422 0 105 1422 122 122 1422 103 103 1422 119 119 1422 124 124 1422 0 104 1422 0 104 1422 121 121 1422 133 133 1422 121 121 1422 100 100 1422 0 105 1422 100 100 1422 125 125 1422 144 144 1422 192 192 1422 144 144 1422 130 130 1422 190 190 1422 191 191 1422 143 143 1422 195 195 1422 194 194 1422 190 190 1422 145 145 1422 141 141 1422 142 142 1422 134 134 1422 141 141 1422 136 136 1422 135 135 1422 190 190 1422 146 146 1422 136 136 1422 130 130 1422 192 192 1422 124 124 1422 121 121 1422 125 125 1422 122 122 1422 103 103 1422 0 105 201 0 128-G 810 0 B-13 810 0 B-13 810 0 B-13 |

Inconsistent merge results
It's tricky (and most definitely not your fault). See
