Data may not always be stored in a convenient form and therefore may require rearranging before analysis. This section demonstrates some of the spreadsheet data manipulation techniques, such as appending, merging, stacking and unstacking data. You can also combine sections of data from several spreadsheets into one by copying and pasting.
