merge queries - expression error
Yes, i got there eventually. I expanded all the multi-row fields but it still wouldnt merge. I then tried merge to new and this worked perfectly. So it's all sorted now.
You are going to need to share screenshots or data for us to help. What has likely happened is the field you are merging on in SharePoint is not a text or numeric field, but a multi-row field. A multi-row field acts as a single value when there is only one row, but if the user adds a 2nd row by pressing ENTER in the dialog box, SP turns that value into list and that will merge.
But without screenshots it is hard to say. This is a data issue though, not a bug, and not likely anything you are doing wrong in the merge, it is just unexpected data structures messing it up.
