Merging cells combines two or more adjacent cells into one larger cell. The Merge & Center feature is often used for titles and headings at the top of a worksheet.

While merged cells can improve visual presentation, they should be used carefully because they can interfere with sorting and filtering. Beginners should understand both the benefit and the limitation of this formatting tool.

Why It Matters

• Useful for worksheet titles and headers
• Improves visual presentation
• Can complicate data operations if overused
