What is Merge Cells and what do I need it for?
Merge Cells is an add-in for Microsoft Excel, which combines values in columns, cells and rows. If you need to get one cell out of several ones, merge columns row by row or rows column by column, Merge Cells utility is the best assistant of you.
Doesn't Microsoft Excel do the same without any add-ins?
No, it doesn't. If you merge cells with the help of the build-in Excel button, you will keep only the upper-left value, other values will be removed. Merge Cells saves all your data and allows to decide, whether to combine values into one selected cell or merge all areas in the selection.
How does Merge Cells work?
You start the add-in, select your range and choose what to merge: columns, cells, or rows.
