This FAQ covers 4 common questions about merge and split cells in WPS on Android and includes 3 glossary terms for quick reference.
FAQ
Why is only the top-left content kept after I merge cells?
- When cells are merged, WPS keeps only the content in the top-left cell.
- Content from the other selected cells is not combined into the merged result.
- If you need to keep other content, copy or back it up before merging.
Why can't I merge cells?
- Make sure you have entered spreadsheet editing mode.
- Check whether you selected the adjacent cells you want to merge.
- If the action still does not work, reselect the range and try again from Tools > Home or the floating toolbar.
How do I turn a merged cell back into separate cells?
- Select the merged cell.
- Open the floating toolbar.
- Tap Split to restore the original separate cells.
How to merge cells in WPS on Android more quickly?
- If you are already editing the table, the floating toolbar is usually the faster path.
- If you prefer a menu-based path, use Tools > Home > Merge Cells.
- Both methods complete the merge, so choose the one that fits your editing habit.
