Excel – Working with merged cells (merging and fixing problems)

Posted November 3, 2013

Ever tried to centre a heading over the top of a number of columns? It can be a little frustrating, especially when you can’t quite get it to sit as you would like. Last month saw me running multiple Stage 1 Excel courses and it reminded me that this problem frustrates so many. I love hearing the “oh wows” when I show the class how the Merge and Center command allows you to easily centre head

ings over tables of data.Sadly I won’t be able to hear you saying “oh wow” but feel free to contact me if you enjoy the tutorial.

In this lesson you will learn how to centre headings across a table of data using Merge and Center cells. Includes merging cells within a table, unmerging cells and dealing with error messages. e.g. this operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized.
