To unmerge cells in Excel, you can follow these steps:
1. **Select the Merged Cells:**
- Click on the merged cell or cells that you want to unmerge. If you're dealing with multiple merged cells, select all of them.
2. **Access the Merge & Center Option:**
- Once the cells are selected, go to the "Home" tab on the Excel ribbon.
3. **Click on the "Merge & Center" Button:**
- In the "Alignment" group, you'll find the "Merge & Center" button. It may appear as a merged cell icon with an arrow pointing downward or simply as "Merge & Center."
- Click on the button. If you're dealing with multiple merged cells, you might see a split button with additional options. In this case, choose the "Unmerge Cells" option.
4. **Verify Unmerged Cells:**
- After clicking "Unmerge Cells," Excel will unmerge the selected cells. Verify that the cells are now unmerged and appear as individual cells.
That's it! The selected cells should now be unmerged, and you can enter or modify data in each individual cell independently. Keep in mind that unmerging cells may affect the formatting or layout of your Excel worksheet, especially if you're unmerging cells within a larger table or structure. Always double-check your data and formatting after making changes.
