If you want to merge cells in a table, we suggest you try the following steps to achieve it: 1.Create a table and click any cell in the table. The number will be a numeric value, for example, 2 for 2 rows if rowspan, 2 for 2 columns if column span. Yes, we cannot merge cells in a table directly in Excel. If the cells contain text, only the value in the upper left cell will survive the merge. You can combine two or more cells and their contents in the same row or column into a single cell. Enter the number of columns or rows that you want to split the selected cells into. Under Table Tools, on the Layout tab, in the Merge group, click Split Cells. Merge Cells combines all selected cells into one cell. Click in a cell, or select multiple cells that you want to split. Now when you return to the spreadsheet, you will find your selected cells merged into a single cell. When the Format Cells window appears, select the Alignment tab. Right-click and then select 'Format Cells' from the popup menu. Before we try these on our main table, let's look at what each command does. Answer: Select the cells that you wish to merge.

As you can see, product names in Column B are merged across three rows to display three months of data (cells B2: B4 are merged, B5:B7, etc.). The rowspan attribute is for the number of rows a cell should span, whereas the colspan attribute is for a number of columns a cell should span.īoth the attribute will be inside the tag. The Alignment group on the home tab of the ribbon provides three merge options: Merge & Center, Merge Across, and Merge Cells. When you filter a data set that has merged cells across rows, Excel returns only the first row of the merged cells. To merge cells in HTML, use the colspan and rowspan attribute.
