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

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

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
