I suspect the answer to this is No, but I want to check anyway.

I have a report that has been dumped to Excel and formatted using Merged Cells.

I need to sort a number column in this report, but it won't let me because the size of the merged cells do not match. I tried unmerging the cells, but that totally messes up all the formating.

Is there any slick trick way around the merged cells size restriction with respect to column sorting?
