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.
