Adjust the column width so that you can fit allĬontents in one cell. here is the JoinAndMerge() macro I have written that works for pretty much all types of data.ĭecemat 3:32 reason I asked why were you setting the the WrapText property to True was because of this instruction you gave above.Ģ. Of course there is, You can write a simple macro to do this job for you.įor eg. Shouldn’t there be a better way to merge cells without losing data?!? It only works for cells in a single column, if the cells are spread across several columns, justify will not work.It doesnt work if the selected cells have numbers or formulas.See this simple animation aside to understand how it works.īut wait, this technique has some limitations, If you see the text spreading 2 rows, just make the column wider and repeat the process. The text from selected cells will be magically re-arranged in top-most cell. Adjust the column width so that you can fit all contents in one cell.(All the cells need to be in one area in one column). Select all the cells where your data is.You can use simple features in Excel to do this with ease. That got me thinking, there should be a way to merge cells without losing data?!? It would save a great amount of my time if i could get a solution to this ! But Excel wont help as it cannot merge values from all cells.Ĭan you tell me how to merge rows without losing the data in the format given below. Either for alignment or structure, we would like to merge the cell contents in to one big cell. The cell that contains the insertion point will become the top row of the second table.We have some data in a few cells. This can be useful for splitting long tables into two separate tables-mostly in hopes of dealing with formatting issues that multi-page tables can sometimes cause.įirst, click to place your insertion point in the cell where you would like your table split to begin. You can get just about as complicated with your table layout as you’d want. When we hit “OK” the table turns out just like you’d expect.Īnd obviously, this is just a quick look. We also want those cells merged before being split, so make sure that option is selected. In the Split Cells window, we’d select three columns and two rows. We’d head to Table Tools > Layout > Split Cells (a lot of times the Split Cells command doesn’t show up on the context menu when you have multiple cells selected, so it’s easier to use the Ribbon button).
And we want to take those selected cells (the ones in gray under the second column header) and turn them into two big rows of three columns each. Let’s say we had a table like the one shown below.
Input the number of rows and columns you would like to split your cell into.Īnd that cell we selected is now two cells.Īs you probably guessed from the options in that Split Cells window, you can also get a little more complex with cell splitting. You can just go ahead and click the “OK” button to make the split. By default, it’s set up to split the selected cell(s) into two columns, which is exactly what we want. (You can also head to Table Tools > Layout > Split Cells on the Word Ribbon if you prefer.) Then, right-click the selected cell and choose the “Split Cells” command from the context menu. Let’s first say that we just one to split a single cell into two cells. You can use the split command to one or more cells into a set number of rows and columns. Splitting table cells in Word is only slightly more complicated than merging them. If you prefer using Word’s menus, you can also head to the Table Tools “Layout” tab, and then click the “Merge Cells” button there. When you have your cells selected, right-click any of the selected cells, and then choose the “Merge Cells” command on the context menu.
