#### Merging Transactions

You can use the Transactions list in the Side bar to merge the data from a source transaction into a target transaction. This is useful if you need to give variables that don't contain a value (that say Null), the merged value from the source transaction.

To Merge a Transaction with another Transaction

1. Select two transactions from the Transactions list in the side bar.

2. Right-click anywhere in the Transactions list and choose the Merge Two Transactions menu item from the resulting shortcut menu. A Merge Transaction dialog box appears asking you to choose a target transaction.

3. Choose the desired target transaction, and click OK. The software merges the two transactions in this manner:

- If the target transaction variable is empty (or null), it will take the value of the source transaction.

- If the target transaction contains a non-empty value, it will not take the source value but will retain its original value.

- The software then deletes the source transaction.

For example, suppose you were merging these two transactions, and you chose the left transaction as the target transaction:

After the merge, the transaction data would look like this:

Notice that the source transaction was deleted and that the null values were replaced with data from the source transaction.
