What Is the VSTACK Function in Excel?

VSTACK is a modern Excel function that lets you combine multiple ranges or arrays vertically into one dynamic result. Instead of copying and pasting data from different sheets, you can stack everything together with a single formula.

=VSTACK(array1, array2, array3)

Each range is appended below the previous one, creating one combined list.

Why VSTACK Matters

Before VSTACK, combining data usually meant manual copy‑paste or complex workarounds. VSTACK simplifies this by creating a live, formula‑driven dataset.

Key Benefits

• No copy & paste

  • Update the source data and the combined list updates automatically.

• Handles uneven data

  • Source ranges don’t need the same number of rows—perfect for monthly reports.

• Fully dynamic

  • The result spills and resizes automatically as data changes.

• Cleaner spreadsheets

  • Encourages better Excel design by separating raw data from reporting logic.
