Sup, I need some help. I use oo api to automatical export data to excel (from 1c, but you dont know what is it, and its cool to you). But i have some problem - i cannot split/merge cells range. I can take the cells range, changes its colors and values what i need, formats etc, but cannot split it from one. Please, can you give some example for dummies . Much thank you.

And sorry for my bad english

Are you looking to split a cell (i.e, unmerge it) back to its components, or to break data in a cell up into separate components. If this latter, what are the criteria for breaking up the data?

I need to merge cells, i dont care about data in it write now. I need to merge some cells to one, then give it a value.

I haven't had time to explore what the boolean argument does in the merge() function.

oSheets = ThisComponent.getSheets()
oSheet = oSheets.getByName("Sheet1")
oCellRange = oSheet.getCellRangeByName("A1:A3")
oCellRange.merge(True)

Thank you! It works

.merge(False) splits merged cells.
.merge(True) merges cells, but only if none of the cells in the range are merged. If A1:A2 is merged, then you select A1:B2 and try to merge it, there will be no effect. The macro has to select A1:A2, unmerge them, then select A1:B2 and merge it. Kind of annoying.

Thanks!
