I thought Columns 2, 4, 6, and 8 had different conditions, so merging them might not be correct. I need to double-check that part.

This is a tricky one, but I think I have a good strategy. I'll start by analyzing the error message and the diagnostics log to understand the root cause. Then I'll consider different ways to address the problem, keeping the requirements in mind.
