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!

A simple feature available in Excel for YEARS, but not yet in Smartsheet sheets.
It helps with designing charts with custom layouts. Even if it's not really possible to have joined cells due to how Smartsheet is built, make a similar experience so it looks like joined cells.
Add this feature, just like Excel has it.

I don't know if this is a similar idea, but if it is, there's a new one here:

The "browse" button was recently changed to go through a recent workspaces menu and requiring a second click on "browse all" before actually bringing up the browse menu sidebar. This change is unintuitive as there is a "recents" button right below the browse button and for anyone who regularly uses more than 6 workspaces…
I need to be able to backup all workspaces at once. Backing up each workspace one by one is tedious and a waste of time. I know someone is going to tell me "even system admins cannot backup workspaces they are not shared to, and can only backup workspaces they own or are shared with." So, let me do that. At least let me…
Smartsheet does not currently send automated error notifications to Pivot workflow owners when workflows fail, unlike the notification behavior for DataTables, Data Shuttle, and Meshes. Also, when column mappings break on a mesh, the mesh will continue to run with an error. We should expect the same functionality from a…
