How to Merge Cells in Notion
In this article
While Notion doesn't offer a direct cell merging feature like traditional spreadsheet applications, there's a clever workaround that achieves the same visual effect. This technique involves creating multiple tables and strategically aligning them to simulate merged cells.
This method is particularly useful when you need to create headers that span multiple columns or organize data in a more visually appealing way. Follow these steps to create the appearance of merged cells in your Notion tables.
Here's how to merge cells in Notion
- Insert a table block by typing /table in your Notion page.
- Expand your table by adding the desired number of rows and columns.
- Add content to the cells where you want the merged effect to appear.
- Insert a second table directly below the first one using /table again.
- Adjust the column widths of the second table to perfectly align with the first table's columns.
