Subject: With spreadsheets that have multiple tables, is merging cells sometime okay?
No previous message | Next message →

Good Morning,

If you have multiple distinct tables on an Excel worksheet, is it okay to
merge the cells in those tables with less columns than other tables?

So for example, let's say you have a worksheet with two tables.


- Table Alpha has 5 columns that span columns A through E:
- Table Beta has 4 columns.

For Beta, is it okay to merge columns D & E? Or should Beta simple stop in
column D and not use column E?

Thanks in advance!

Can you provide a concrete example?
