Excel: Merge cells

In the Excel spreadsheet, cells can be connected to place texts centrally over several columns. In this practical tip, we will show you how to combine several cells into one cell.

Connect Excel cells - how it works

Spreadsheet cells are very easy to merge in Excel:

1. Select the cells you want to connect.
2. Right click and click on the right icon (see screenshot).
3. The cells are now connected and the contained text is centered. You can change the text alignment later.

Excel 2010 was used for this tip. If you have a different version, the icons may look different. If you clicked, you can move individual cells with the mouse.
