Merged Cell

I'm unable to check/uncheck tickboxes in merged cells. I'm also unable to drag merged cells to fill down (or across).


Can I assume this is a known limitation without a solution?

I have no problem checking/unchecking checkboxes in merged cells. I've tried horizontally merged, vertically merged, and a combination with no problem. I tried merging then formatting as checkbox and I tried it the other way around, still no problem. There may be something you are doing that I am not.


You cannot drag-fill merged cells. It seems like you should be able to but you cannot. I don't know if it is a bug or a limitation. You can copy/paste instead.
