Learn how to auto number merged cells in Excel

To number merged cells in Excel, you can first merge the cells where you want the numbering to appear. Then, in the merged cell, type the starting number. Next, drag the fill handle (the small square at the bottom-right corner of the cell) downwards to automatically fill the merged cells with consecutive numbers. This method allows you to autofill numbers even when cells are merged. To continue numbering in Excel with merged cells, simply select the merged cells and drag the fill handle to extend the sequence. If you need to apply a formula to merged cells in Excel, you can enter the formula in any unmerged cell adjacent to the merged cells and Excel will calculate accordingly. When merging cells in Excel without losing numbers, ensure that the content you want to preserve is in the top-left cell of the merged area, as merging cells retains only the data from the top-left cell. By following these steps, you can easily number merged cells in Excel without losing any data.
