Answer 1

You can use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel:

worksheet.Range[worksheet.Cells[rowNum, columnNum], worksheet.Cells[rowNum, columnNum]].Merge();

You can also use NPOI:

var cellsTomerge = new NPOI.SS.Util.CellRangeAddress(firstrow, lastrow, firstcol, lastcol);
_sheet.AddMergedRegion(cellsTomerge);

Answer 2

Using the Interop you get a range of cells and call the .Merge() method on that range.

eWSheet.Range[eWSheet.Cells[1, 1], eWSheet.Cells[4, 1]].Merge();

Answer 3

This solves the issue in the appropriate way

// Merge a row
            ws.Cell("B2").Value = "Merged Row(1) of Range (B2:D3)";
            ws.Range("B2:D3").Row(1).Merge();

Answer 4

Excel.Application xl = new Excel.ApplicationClass();

Excel.Workbook wb = xl.Workbooks.Add(Excel.XlWBATemplate.xlWBATWorkshe et);

Excel.Worksheet ws = (Excel.Worksheet)wb.ActiveSheet;

ws.Cells[1,1] = "Testing";

Excel.Range range = ws.get_Range(ws.Cells[1,1],ws.Cells[1,2]);

range.Merge(true);

range.Interior.ColorIndex =36;

xl.Visible =true;

Answer 5

take a list of string as like

List<string> colValListForValidation = new List<string>();

and match string before the task. it will help you bcz all merge cells will have same value

Answer 6

You can use NPOI to do it.

Workbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
Sheet sheet = wb.createSheet("new sheet");

Row row = sheet.createRow((short) 1);
Cell cell = row.createCell((short) 1);
cell.setCellValue("This is a test of merging");

sheet.addMergedRegion(new CellRangeAddress(
        1, //first row (0-based)
        1, //last row  (0-based)
        1, //first column (0-based)
        2  //last column  (0-based)
));

// Write the output to a file
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("workbook.xls");
wb.write(fileOut);
fileOut.close();
