Sorry but I'm not following you, I see that you already did it, do you want to use another input if its empty?

I want to merge the two left coloums from the screenshot, into the right one. However, it always gets the most left coloumn, because it doesn't identify it as an empty coloumn. Do you see that?

I would use the merge formulas alone and then add the linkedin url in another column

what do you mean by "alone"?

oh I understand. It does work expected when I remove the "linkined" text. But why is that?
