    I would like to be able to add a formula that can combine the content of two cells, example A = string1, B = string2, C = A + B, then C = string1 string2. If it is possible or if it can be implemented, I am interested. Thank you.

    Hi arielo,
    Thank you for the inquiry.

    It is possible to create formulas from the different cells but these cells must be in the same row. Please take a look at this post from our documentation. Also cells must be numbers (that means that column should be Integer or Float) column type.

    You can try our sandbox site: Front-end & Back-end - you can find a fully functional version there to try out all plugin features.

    Good morning, thank you for your prompt response, 
    but my query goes exactly to the option of joining or combining two cells of the same row in another cell,
     in this case do the operation concatenate, 
    example:
     col1 = hello,
     col2 = friend,
     col3 = (col1, col2)
     would then be 
     col3 = hellofriend
    If you can enable this option please, I am interested to make a table that automatically generates a value from two cells
    I found this formula in another table plugin, but it does not compare with your professional level.
    I will be waiting for your response, thanks for your time

    Hi arielo,

    Unfortunately something like that is not possible out of the box with some formula constructor or something similar but you can use MySQL based wpDataTables where you can use MySQL CONCAT() function where you can join multiple string in one string.

    Hi arielo,

    I don't think I understood your question. Can you please describe it in more details?

    Hi arielo,

    If you are using wpDataTables you can create tables by writing MySQL query. There you can use  CONCAT () function to join two columns from MySQL into the one column in wpDataTable.
