Title: Microsoft Excel Merge and Split cell Formulas
Description: Microsoft Excel allows users to merge and split cells for better data organization. Merging cells combines multiple cells into one, often used to create headings or consolidate information across columns. However, merging is a formatting action, not a formula-based function. For splitting cells, Excel doesn't have a direct formula, but you can use tools like Text to Columns or formulas like LEFT, RIGHT, and MID to extract data from a single cell into multiple cells. These features help organize and display data more clearly, improving readability and structure in your spreadsheets.
