Combine Text Lines
Merge multi-line lists into one delimited string in one click — perfect for SQL IN clauses and tag lists.
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.

Common 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?
