Since merging in a database doesn't really work (the whole structure being defined by rows) I was thinking about mechanics of how I could still see a merged cell. It seems to me that Smartsheet could define a column type that supports showing merged cells on reports/dashboards by having a linked column that auto-assigns a unique identifier to each row, but that assigns the same value to each row when cells are toggled to merged. When generating the report, Smartsheet would know that any cells having the same identifier would then display as merged. This would only work for merging across rows, not across columns, but it would make my day.
Please add merge cell
Please add merge cell funcion
I also prefer to add " Merge cell " function in Smartsheet
The ability to take multiple cells, horizontally or vertically, that contain the same value, and merge them together so it becomes one big cell across multiple rows or columns.
voting to merge cells
If merging cells in Smartsheet is not a viable/feasible option due to its nature of being a "database", can we at least have text that is viewable in one row when it's not word wrapped vs. cutting off longer cell text?
I love Smartsheet but the lack of cell merging has forced me back to Excel. I hope you are able to incorporate that soon.
Would love the ability to Merge cells. I often create a sheet that requires several columns to organize data but like to have a general notes section at the bottom that are too large to fit in the columns I have set up.
I second this idea.
This is 2025! Please add this feature already. If its about resources, let me work for free and provide you with the updated code to bring this feature. Please!

I have a workflow with nearly 40 automations, half of which are email-based requests for updates with various sets of triggers. While I know the automations work, due to months of testing, when our system went live to the institution, I became very worried that the automations wouldn't run and I'd have no idea whether or…
Description: When users upload multiple photos in one action via the Smartsheet iOS mobile app, all files are assigned the same generic name and timestamp. This makes it difficult to identify individual photos and creates confusion in workflows that rely on accurate, unique file naming. Why This Matters: Industry Standard:…
Our consistent experience is that Smartsheet objects can take anywhere from 5-20 seconds to load. This feels extremely slow when you're actively facilitating a call and working between sheets, waiting for it to load. Other solutions in the industry have extremely fast, sub-5-second load times. I would request the product…
