Can someone please explain the difference between these two options in terms of including additional data columns in a location's description.

I have used the excel formula to concatenate multiple columns to then be included in the description, but I find that I lose formatting from time to time (e.g. currency vs. text) as well as needing to include the column header in each cell under the header to provide a "category" of sorts in the description box (e.g. Dallas vs. City: Dallas).

With the information that's available on the site about the AppendDataColumnstoDescription column, I find myself not understanding how to construct the spreadsheet in order to bring in additional columns.

Any help is appreciated.
