Merge cells within a worksheet
mergeCells(wb, sheet, cols, rows)As merged region must be rectangular, only min and max of cols and rows are used.
## Create a new workbook
wb <- createWorkbook()
## Add a worksheet
addWorksheet(wb, "Sheet 1")
addWorksheet(wb, "Sheet 2")
## Merge cells: Row 2 column C to F (3:6)
mergeCells(wb, "Sheet 1", cols = 2, rows = 3:6)
## Merge cells:Rows 10 to 20 columns A to J (1:10)
mergeCells(wb, 1, cols = 1:10, rows = 10:20)
## Intersecting merges
mergeCells(wb, 2, cols = 1:10, rows = 1)
mergeCells(wb, 2, cols = 5:10, rows = 2)
mergeCells(wb, 2, cols = c(1, 10), rows = 12) ## equivalent to 1:10 as only min/max are used
# mergeCells(wb, 2, cols = 1, rows = c(1,10)) # Throws error because intersects existing merge
## remove merged cells
removeCellMerge(wb, 2, cols = 1, rows = 1) # removes any intersecting merges
mergeCells(wb, 2, cols = 1, rows = 1:10) # Now this works
## Save workbook
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
saveWorkbook(wb, "mergeCellsExample.xlsx", overwrite = TRUE)
} # }
