You can merge cells in Excel by using a simple drop-down menu, which will let you merge cells in a variety of ways. Here's how to use it.

We need to briefly cover what happens when you merge several cells in Excel or Google Sheets. Or, more specifically, what does not.

To merge cells in Excel, select all the cells you want to merge—make sure they're adjacent. Then go to the Home tab, and click the Merge and Center button in the Alignment group.

Click the merged cell you would like to split. Excel displays the "Merge & Center" button and highlights it. Click that button to split the cell back into its original cells.
