The ability to merge cells in Google Sheets is an option that you may be familiar with if you have worked with Microsoft Excel.

While the traditional method for entering data in a spreadsheet involves typing data into cells that are organized into rows and columns of equal size, your layout may require you to combine a couple of cells into one larger cell.

Google Sheets gives you the option to merge your cells in a handful of ways, which are:

• Merge all
• Merge horizontally
• Merge vertically

Any merge option that you choose can be undone by selecting the merged cell, clicking the arrow next to Merge cells, then choosing the Unmerge option.

Now that you know how to merge cells in Google Sheets you can use these steps if you have data in multiple cells that you would prefer to display in just one cell.
