Default sort spreadsheet, "merged cells" comes up. Find cells? Unmerge ?

Hi

First, you bring the unmerge button to the tool bars. Right click on the
blank space of the tool bar field and select customize €“ commands €“ format.
You can see the unmerge button. Drag and drop it to the tool bar field.

Since it is a large spreadsheet, it will be difficult to find merged cells
one by one. So select all cells by pressing control A. Now press the
unmerge button.

I hope this would help.

Regards,

Jaleel

I have a large spreadsheet that I sort often. When I use the upper left
corner to designate sort area, "merged cells" comes up. If I sot otherwise,
sorting works.

I have not had this problem till recently but I must have copied in some
merged data.

How can I find these cells and "unmerge" or remove them?

Thanks,
Lowell
