Merge Cells
Combines the contents of the selected cells into a single cell.
The merged cell receives the name of the first cell of the original cell range. Merged cells cannot be merged a second time with other cells. The range must form a rectangle, multiple selection is not supported.
If the cells to be merged have any contents, a security dialog is shown.
Three options are available:
-
Move the contents of the hidden cells into the first cell: The actual contents of the hidden cells are concatenated to the first cell, and hidden cells are emptied; the results of formulas referring to the hidden cells or the first cell will be updated.
-
Keep the contents of the hidden cells: The contents of the hidden cells are kept; the results of formulas referring to the hidden cells will not change.
-
Empty the contents of the hidden cells: The contents of the hidden cells are removed; the results of formulas referring to the hidden cells will be updated.
Merging cells can lead to calculation errors in formulas in the table.
