How to Merge Cells in Apple Numbers

Learning how to merge cells is fairly easy to do. By following these simple and straightforward steps, you can merge adjacent cells easily in just a few clicks.

• Step 1: Select the Cells to Merge

  

  Highlight two or more cells in your spreadsheet and an automatic prompt will pop up. Select the Cell Actions option in the menu or click on the green Cell icon located on the lower right portion of the screen.

• Step 2: Merge the Cells

  

  When the window appears, click on the Merge Cells function. This combines the cells you selected, making it one cell.

• Step 3: Adjust the Cell Format

  

  If you want to change the format of the merged cell, click the paintbrush icon on the main toolbar located at the top of the screen. You can adjust the font, size, text color, or the horizontal and vertical alignment of the cell, according to your preferences or requirements.

• Step 4: Unmerge the Cell

  

  The last step is optional. If you made a mistake or you changed your mind, Apple Numbers makes it easy for users to unmerge cells. Just highlight the cell again, click the Cell icon then select Unmerge Cell. This restores the formatting back to two separate cells.
