How to merge cells in google excel

Answer

To merge cells in Google Sheets, follow these steps:

1. Select the cells you want to merge. Click and drag across the cells in a row, column, or block of cells.

2. Go to the Format menu at the top of the screen.

3. Hover over Merge cells. You will see three options:

   • Merge all: Combines all selected cells into one single cell.

   • Merge horizontally: Merges selected cells in the same row only.

   • Merge vertically: Merges selected cells in the same column only.

4. Click the desired option. The selected cells will merge, and only the content of the top-left cell will remain. Any other data in merged cells will be deleted.

5. To unmerge cells, select the merged cell, go to Format → Merge cells, and click Unmerge.

Keyboard shortcuts

• On Windows: Press Alt → O → M → A to merge all cells after selecting them.

• On Mac: Press ⌘ + Option + M to open the merge options quickly.

Notes

• Merged cells can affect sorting, filtering, and formulas. Avoid merging large ranges used in calculations.

• Text alignment automatically centers horizontally when cells are merged, but vertical alignment remains unchanged.

Example

If you want a title to span across columns A1 to D1:

1. Select A1:D1.

2. Choose Format → Merge cells → Merge all.

3. Enter your title. It will now appear centered across the four columns.

This method ensures your sheet looks clean while keeping headers readable.
