Now when you return to the spreadsheet, you will need to manually adjust the height of the row that contains the merged cells. To do this, position your mouse pointer over the bottom of the row until a double arrowed pointer appears. Then hold down the left mouse button and drag downward. Release the left mouse button when the row is the desired height.
Merge Cells In Excel For Mac 2011
If you work with data in Microsoft Excel on a Mac, you may find yourself wanting to merge cells together occasionally. Maybe you have two columns of data that you want to combine into one, or you want to merge a bunch of cells together to create one large cell. Whatever the reason, there's a keyboard shortcut that can save you a lot of time when merging cells in Excel on a Mac.
To merge cells together in Excel on a Mac, first select the cells that you want to merge. Then, press Command + Option + M on your keyboard. This shortcut will instantly merge the selected cells together into one cell.
If you want to unmerge cells that have already been merged together, simply select the merged cell and press Command + Option + M again. This shortcut will unmerge the cells and return them to their previous state.
The tutorial demonstrates different techniques to quickly merge two cells in Excel and combine multiple cells row by row or column by column without losing data in Excel 365, Excel 2021, 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010 and lower.
In your Excel worksheets, you may often need to merge two or more cells into one large cell. For example, you may want to combine several cells for a better data presentation or structure. In other cases, there may be too much content to be displayed in one cell, and you decide to merge it with adjacent blank cells.
But is there a way to merge cells in Excel without losing data? Of course there is. And further on in this tutorial, you will find a few solutions that work in all versions of Excel 2016, Excel 2013, Excel 2010 and lower.
Tip. To change the text alignment after merging, simply select the merged cell and click the desired alignment in the Alignment group on the Home tab.Excel's merging features - limitations and specificitiesWhen using Excel's built-in features to combine cells, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Apart from joining all cells in the selected range, this tool can also merge rows and combine columns, you just have to select the corresponding option in the "What to merge" drop-down list.
Users who feel more comfortable with Excel formulas, may like this way to combine cells in Excel. You can employ the CONCATENATE function or the & operator to join the cells' values first, and then merge the cells if needed. In Excel 2016 - Excel 365, you can also use the CONCAT function for the same purpose. The detailed steps follow below.
In a similar manner, you can merge multiple cells in Excel, the CONCATENATE formula will be just a little bit longer in this case. An advantage of this approach is that you can separate values with different delimiters within a single formula, for example:
This is how you can combine two cells in Excel or merge multiple cells without losing data. Hopefully, this information has proved useful for your day-to-day tasks. I thank you for reading and hope to see on our blog next week.

Hi peopleI have a the following work and I need help. I have A column which has several codes "427, 540,etc" random codes like that. Each code has a list of skills associated to it in column B distributed in different cells along several rows on column B. I need to be able to merge all the skills that belongs to one code for example 427 which goes from A:2 to A:20 into one cell in column C without loosing data and then repeat the same process for the rest of the codes in A. so I will have Column A - header : Key Column B Header:Skills Column C: concatenated list of skills by code.A:2 to A:19 (under the "key" header) I have code 427, for code 427 from B:2 to B:19 I have listed skills, on C:2 I need the listed skills from B:2 to B:19 into that cell (C:2). And repeat the process for "key" 540. Note that the number of cells occupied by skills will differ by each code. Also I need using the code below be able no not having to input myself the cell where I want the merged skills, I want them on the same row that I have the New "key"

Hi,I want to merge multiple cells based on other cells.of other cells are merged, target cells automatically will merge and sum two values.For example:If I merge A1 & A2, then D1 & D2 will merge automatically and will sum C1 & C2.
And so on. I want to merge the countries but keep the data in each cell. I know I can use the format painter to do this but this makes further updating of the spreadsheet difficult for users who do not know what I have done. Is there a way I can format the cells to fix this problem?
Further to this, when merged, the data cannot all be sorted alphabetically, so at the moment I have to run a macro to unmerge the cells, sort, and then remerge them using a format painter. If there is a way to avoid using the merge button itself, and achieve the same result that would be perfect.
I have to merge the cells again & again for my business packing list but i don`t know what is the short key of merging cells or if there is no such key then how to set a formula which would merge alternate cells by applying one short key instead of clicking the MERGE & CENTER button with mouse. i have tried aforementioned formula but it is not working after once. can someone help that how it would work continuous?
I have a one of the columns with sequentially repeated values. I am looking for a shortcut or the easiest way to merge the cells with same values with in the column without impacting any other columns/Rows.

How do I paste text with line breaks in one cell? Excel will break the text in multiple rows automatically but that is not the way I want it to behave. A bonus question: can I merge cells so that all the content from all cells would go to the merged cell?

The Gap Width option in Excel for Mac 2011 controls the spacing of bars in a column graph. Decreasing this percentage shrinks the empty space between columns by widening the columns themselves. Choosing a zero Gap Width effectively merges all columns side-by-side to format a histogram-style chart. Because changing the Gap Width on any column automatically applies the change to all columns, you only need to make this change once.
Ernie asked if there was a way for Excel to automatically adjust the row height in cells that are merged. He points out that if a cell is set with text wrapping turned on, that Excel automatically adjusts the row height for the cell so that all the wrapped text is visible. If you subsequently merge that cell with an adjacent cell, even if the adjacent cell has text wrapping turned on, then the resulting merged cell's row height is not adjusted so that all the text is visible.
One way around the problem is to use a macro to set the row height to the desired height. A good approach is to have the macro determine the column width of the merged area, unmerge the columns, set the first column to that width, and determine the row height required to AutoFit it. The macro could then reset the column width, merge the cells, and set the new row height. (If that sounds like a lot, it is. Such a macro wouldn't be that trivial to create.)
When you open a new blank workbook, the cells are set to a default size. You have the ability to modify cells, as well as to insert and delete columns, rows, and cells as needed. In this lesson, you will learn how to change row height and column width, insert and delete rows and columns, wrap text in a cell, and merge cells.
If a cell contains more text than can be displayed, you can choose to wrap the text within the cell or merge the cell with empty adjoining cells. Wrap text to make it display on multiple lines of the cell. Merge cells to combine adjoining cells into one larger cell. 2ff7e9595c
