7 Steps
1
Start Microsoft Excel and open your workbook.
You'll need access to the spreadsheet where the merged cells are located.
2
Click on the "Merged" cell or drag to select multiple merged cells.
Merged cells often appear larger than regular cells, and selecting them will highlight the entire merged area.
3
Go to the "Home" tab in the Excel ribbon at the top of the window.
This tab contains various formatting options, including the merge/unmerge feature.
4
In the "Alignment" group on the Home tab, find the "Merge & Center" button.
This button typically displays a merged icon and is used for both merging and unmerging cells.
5
Click the small arrow next to the "Merge & Center" button to open the dropdown menu.
This menu provides you with various options for merging cells.
6
From the "Dropdown" menu, select "Unmerge Cells."
This action will unmerge the selected cells, returning them to their original state.
7
Review the "Cells" to ensure they have been unmerged.
Each cell in the previously merged area should now be separate and display the content that was in the top-left cell before merging.
