Hi,

In the old version, you can get the list of merged areas to merge and unmerge the cell area.(See Cells.getMergedCells method )

And we have added umerged method(Cells.unMerge(int startRow, int startColumn, int endRow, int endColumn) in the attached fix. Please try it.

Thanks Warren,

The fix seems to work. But works if I provide a range of merged cells. But my problem is I won't know exactly what cell ranges are merged. I would like to specify all rows & columns & the unmerge should unmerge all the merged cells in the work sheet.

For eg :-

dataSheet.getCells().unMerge(0,0,dataSheet.getCells().getMaxRow(),dataSheet.getCells().getMaxColumn());

Any sugestions?Example?

Hi,

Well, I think you may use Cells.getMergedCells to get the ArrayList CellArea(s) and then utilize the methods of CellArea class to unmerge the ranges for your requirement.

Thank you.

Thanks Amjad,

I figured that out. For the benefit of other people below was the code to do that

ArrayList al = new ArrayList();

al=dataSheet.getCells().getMergedCells();

CellArea ca;

int frow,fcol,erow,ecol;

List copyList = new ArrayList(al);//Imp as unmerge cell changes the al size

//UnMerge all the cells

for (int j = 0;j< copyList.size();j++)

{

ca = new CellArea();

ca = (CellArea)copyList.get(j);

frow = ca.getStartRow();

fcol = ca.getStartColumn();

erow = ca.getEndRow();

ecol = ca.getEndColumn();

dataSheet.getCells().unMerge(frow,fcol,erow,ecol);

}

Hi,

ArrayList al = dataSheet.getCells().getMergedCells();

If you want to clear all merged area, please call al.clear();

If you want to remove a merged area, prelease call al.remove(i) .

That Works!!!
