change Apple ID

My iPad (which I used for work apps etc) is set up on a different Apple ID from my other devices. I no longer need a separate Apple ID and want to merge them - I can't seem to do it online as it says my email (the personal one) isn't available. Please can anyone advise?

You can't merge Apple IDs. You can try setting up Family Sharing between the IDs if you want to be able to share purchases made with the IDs.
