What Is Combine Text Lines?
You have a column of values from a spreadsheet and need them inline for a SQL query or formula. Adding commas to every row by hand breaks down fast.
Paste your list, pick a delimiter, and get a single joined string back.
If you're building SQL queries, you produce IN clauses instantly. If you're feeding ETL parameters, you join lists for downstream jobs. If you're configuring dashboards, you rebuild filter values cleanly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wrap each value in quotes?
Yes, toggle quote-wrap for 'a','b','c' SQL formatting.
Tip: Single quotes for SQL strings, double for JS arrays.
What separator works for CSV?
', ' for human-readable, ',' alone for strict CSV.
Tip: Quote values that contain commas.
Does it dedupe values?
No, duplicates stay. Run Remove Duplicate Lines first.
Tip: Sort + dedupe + combine is the clean three-step.
Can I add a prefix or suffix?
Yes, wrap with text like 'WHERE id IN (' and ')'.
Tip: Pair with Prefix-Suffix Generator for per-line wrapping.
What happens to blank rows when combining?
They become empty values in the joined string. Toggle skip-blanks to drop them.
Tip: Always skip blanks for SQL IN clauses.
Are there length limits?
Tens of thousands of values work. SQL engines may have IN-clause limits though.
Tip: For millions, use a temp table instead.
