How to split a cell diagonally in Excel To fulfill this task, you need to perform the following steps: Right-click on the cell and select the «Format Cells» tool (or use the hot-key combination CTRL+1). It just takes some planning and some dinking around. Each application has its strong suites, forms creation isn't one of Excel's, but it can be done. I know this isn't what you may be used to using Word's forms functionality, but its the way it is. This video will look at solving this problem and learn how to split cells in Excel. You then can dink around with the height of the cells to further refine the appearance. In these circumstances, we often need to split the cell into its constituent parts. Given these "restrictions" it sounds to me like you would want to use two cells (say, A1 and A2) and then merge the cells in B1 to lets say G2 so that you have the appearance of a "cell" split in half. Mary, In Excel you can either change the height and/or width of the cell or you can merge the cell with adjacent ones to create a larger cell. If you're modifying an existing lay out, try inserting a new column and then using the two cells you need (your existing cell and the new one adjacent to it) and merge the other cells below it. My previous post still applies except you will have to use cells A1 and B1 and merge the cells below (i.e., cells A2 to B?). I’ve seen spreadsheets that contained a cell with a slash mark (/) dividing it so it could contain two different pieces of informationfor example, a number on one side of the slash and another number or a word on the other side.
