How to detect merged cells in excel with openpyxl

Question

I\'m trying to read data from excel sheet that contains merged cells. When reading merged cells with openpyxl the first merged cell contain the value and the rest of the cel

Answer 1

To test if a single cell is merged or not you can check the class (name):

cell = sheet.cell(row=15, column=14)
if type(cell).__name__ == 'MergedCell':
  print("Oh no, the cell is merged!")
else:
  print("This cell is not merged.")

To "unmerge" all cells you can use the function unmerge_cells

for items in sorted(sheet.merged_cell_ranges):
  print(items)
  sheet.unmerge_cells(str(items))
