I tried it like a picture.
Insert at causes [,] to remain.
sum should make [,].
How can I neatly combine multiple lists?

Hi, @mom7667yafy! 👋
Since you are adding both `name` & `name1` into one list `alllist` before the sum, why not total that list only?
The reason why sum is not happening, because `","` is a string, and sum does not sum strings.
So, instead of summing `name + "," + name1`, try this -
`sum of list - app alllist`.
Thanks! 😊

I’m asking for a nice and easy way to combine lists into lists.
I’ve tried this and that.
I added another picture to try.
If you put 100 lists together, it’s incredibly painful.
If you need to combine 100 lists, how do you do it?

I found the answer by searching the forums (result [here](http://community.thunkable.com/t/merging-two-list-together/324146/2)). Based on that topic, here’s a screenshot of what I did that worked:

There is a problem with the method presented.
If the list is empty as shown in the attached figure.
I want the list to be displayed as completely empty when it is empty.
In the above picture, however, there are three items.
How can I solve this problem?

Using the method shown in the figure, if the list is empty, it will be displayed as empty.
 ! 
There is nothing wrong with having something empty and data.

I tested it.
I have an empty list and it works as I want.
It works perfectly.
It’s rotten in two ways.
You are amazing.
I wouldn’t find it difficult to combine 100 lists.
Thank you.
