When to use a check box. Use one or more check boxes when you want to: Enable users to make a true/false or yes/no choice. Display true/false or yes/no information that comes from a database, Web service, or other data source.
You can combine or merge text from two or more cells into one cell. For example, if you have one cell in your worksheet with a personâs first name and one cell with their last name, you can combine the first and last names in a new cell. Click the cell where you want to put the combined text. Type =(. Click the cell that contains the first text you want to combine, such as a personâs first name. Type &â â& (a space enclosed in quotation marks). Click the next cell with the text that you want to combine, such as the personâs last name.
In rows 1â20, you can merge across (not merge cells) 4 columns and go back to what you had before (sort of!). In rows 21â30 you can merge 3 columns and have a new column width 3/4 that of what the top ones are. In rows 31â40, you can merge 2, etcâ¦. But please, donât do this! As an analyst, I cry a little inside when someone drops an Excel to me with merged cells.
