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, I loop through sheet.merged_cells.ranges like @A. Lau suggests. Unfortunately, checking the cell type like @0x4a6f4672 shows does not work any more.

Here is a function that shows you how to do this.

def testMerge(row, column):
    cell = sheet.cell(row, column)
    for mergedCell in sheet.merged_cells.ranges:
        if (cell.coordinate in mergedCell):
            return True
    return False
