IXlMergedCells.Add(XlCellRange) Method
Merges cells in the specified cell range and appends the resulting merged range to the end of the collection.
Namespace: DevExpress.Export.Xl
Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v24.2.Core.dll
Declaration
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| range | XlCellRange | A XlCellRange object that specifies a range of cells to be merged. |
Remarks
Take special note that you cannot merge cells in a range that overlaps existing merged cells in a worksheet. In this case, a ArgumentException will be thrown. If your document contains a large number of merged cells, you can accelerate the process of merging cells and consequently document generation by using the Add method overload with the checkOverlap parameter set to false. This disables the internal checking of the intersecting merged cells. But in this case, you may get an invalid document if there are any merged cells that intersect other merged cells.

// Merge cells contained in the range A1:E1.
sheet.MergedCells.Add(XlCellRange.FromLTRB(0, 0, 4, 0));
// Merge cells contained in the range A2:A5.
sheet.MergedCells.Add(XlCellRange.FromLTRB(0, 1, 0, 4));
// Merge cells contained in the range B2:E5.
sheet.MergedCells.Add(XlCellRange.FromLTRB(1, 1, 4, 4));
