Join spreadsheet boxes

Merge cells is a spreadsheet command that combines two or more adjacent cells into a single larger cell.

The content of the upper-left cell typically remains while other cells' contents are discarded.

Merge cells to create a centered title spanning multiple columns.

The feature is useful for formatting headers but can complicate sorting and data analysis.
