Get Merged Cell Area with EPPLus
You can get all merged cells from worksheet, hence you can find the merged range a specific cell belongs to using the following:
public string GetMergedRange(ExcelWorksheet worksheet, string cellAddress)
{
ExcelWorksheet.MergeCellsCollection mergedCells = worksheet.MergedCells;
foreach (var merged in mergedCells)
{
ExcelRange range = worksheet.Cells[merged];
ExcelCellAddress cell = new ExcelCellAddress(cellAddress);
if (range.Start.Row<=cell.Row && range.Start.Column <= cell.Column)
{
if (range.End.Row >= cell.Row && range.End.Column >= cell.Column)
{
return merged.ToString();
}
}
}
return "";
}
Update:
Turns out that there is a much easier way using EPPLUS, just do the following:
var mergedadress = worksheet.MergedCells[row, column];
For example, if B1 is in a merged range "A1:C1":
var mergedadress = worksheet.MergedCells[1, 2]; //value of mergedadress will be "A1:C1".
2 is the column number because B is the 2nd column.
This will provide you exact width of merged cells:
workSheet.Cells[workSheet.MergedCells[row, col]].Columns
There is no such property out of the box but the worksheet has a MergedCells
property with an array of all the merged cell addresses in the worksheet and a GetMergeCellId()
method which will give you the index for a given cell address.
We can therefore combine these into a little extension method you can use to get the address. Something like this:
public static string GetMergedRangeAddress(this ExcelRange @this)
{
if (@this.Merge)
{
var idx = @this.Worksheet.GetMergeCellId(@this.Start.Row, @this.Start.Column);
return @this.Worksheet.MergedCells[idx-1]; //the array is 0-indexed but the mergeId is 1-indexed...
}
else
{
return @this.Address;
}
}
which you can use as follows:
using (var excel = new ExcelPackage(new FileInfo("inputFile.xlsx")))
{
var ws = excel.Workbook.Worksheets["sheet1"];
var b3address = ws.Cells["B3"].GetMergedRangeAddress();
}
(Note that in the event that you use this method on a multi-celled range it will return the merged cell address for the first cell in the range only)
