How to detect merged cells in excel with openpyxl

问题

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 cells are empty.

I would like to know about each cell if it merge and how many cells are merged but I couldn't find any function that do so. The sheet have empty others cells, so I can't use that.

Will appreciate any help, I prefer openpyxl module but other modules can work,too.

Thank you all!

You can use merged_cells.ranges (merged_cell_ranges has been deprecated in version 2.5.0-b1 (2017-10-19), changed to merged_cells.ranges) on the sheet (can't seem to find per row) like this:

from openpyxl import load_workbook
wb = load_workbook(filename='a file name')
sheet_ranges = wb['Sheet1']

print(sheet_ranges.merged_cells.ranges)

To test if a single cell is merged or not you can check the class (name):

cell = sheet.cell(row=15, column=14)
if type(cell).__name__ == 'MergedCell':
  print("Oh no, the cell is merged!")
else:
  print("This cell is not merged.")

To "unmerge" all cells you can use the function unmerge_cells

for items in sorted(sheet.merged_cell_ranges):
  print(items)
  sheet.unmerge_cells(str(items))

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

These all helped (thanks), but when I used the approaches with a couple of spreadsheets, it wasn't unmerging all the cells I expected. I had to loop and restest for merges to finally get them all to complete. In my case, it took 4 passes to get everything to unmerge as expected:

    mergedRanges = sheet_ranges.merged_cells.ranges
    ### How many times do we run unmerge?
    i=0
    ### keep testing and removing ranges until they are all actually gone
    while mergedRanges:
        for entry in mergedRanges:
            i+=1
            print("  unMerging: " + str(i) + ": " +str(entry))
            ws.unmerge_cells(str(entry))
