Merge or Split Cells in Excel

Question

How to merge or split cells in Excel?

Answer

Merging two or more adjacent horizontal or vertical cells makes the cells become one large cell displayed across multiple columns or rows. The contents of one of the cells appear in the center of the merged cell.

You can split a merged cell into separate cells again but you cannot split a single cell that has not been merged.
