Default How do I turn 1 cell into 2 cells without adding columns or rows?

Is it possible to divide a cell into more than one cell without adding rows
or columns to the worksheet? I need to be able to apply borders to the new
cells created.

Hi,
Sorry, you can't split basic cells in Excel.
You can add a diagonal line in Format Cells Borders, which is the
closest you'll get.
The other approach is to merge all cells across 2 columns, then un-merge
just the ones you want to "split." But merging can create other problems when
trying to manipulate data and layout.
Regards - Dave.

I was afraid of that. Thanks for your help.
