The first option allows you to merge entries on multiple rows into one row, as illustrated below. The entries in column B were merged and the duplicate rows deleted — deletion of duplicate rows is an option.

You can merge as many columns as you want, in any order you want. The text from the different cells can be separated with spaces, commas, or any of several other options. The Merge Data Assistant is entirely menu-driven.
