Merge cells

Call this API to merge multiple cells within a specified range in a DingTalk Spreadsheet into a single cell. This is useful for scenarios such as creating cross-column header titles or merging rows of the same category. Three merge modes are supported: merge all, merge by row, and merge by column. After merging, only the data in the top-left cell is retained, and the content of other cells is cleared. The API returns the address of the merged cells.

Request

Basic information

Field	Value
HTTP URL	`https://api.dingtalk.io/v1.0/doc/workbooks/{workbookId}/sheets/{sheetId}/ranges/{rangeAddress}/merge`
HTTP Method	POST
Supported app type	appType-Internal app
Permissions	permission-Document.Workbook.Write-DingTalk Spreadsheet write permission

Request headers

Name	Type	Required	Description
x-acs-dingtalk-access-token	String	Yes	The access credential for calling this API. To obtain it, call the Get the access token of an internal app API.

Path parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
workbookId	String	Yes	The ID of the spreadsheet file. The `nodeId` (`dentryUuid`) returned by the Knowledge Base API is the `workbookId` of the spreadsheet. To obtain it, call the Get a node or Create a Knowledge Base document API.
sheetId	String	Yes	The worksheet ID or title. To obtain the ID and title of a worksheet, call the Get all worksheets API.
rangeAddress	String	Yes	The range of cells to merge, in the format of `top-left cell:bottom-right cell`. Example: B2:C3.

Query parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
operatorId	String	Yes	The unionId of the operator. To obtain it, call the Query user details API. If the operator does not have permission, the API returns the error `The operator has no permission`.

Request body

Name	Type	Required	Description
mergeType	String	No	The merge mode. Valid values: - mergeAll: Merges all cells (default). - mergeRows: Merges by row. Adjacent cells in the same row within the selected range are merged into a single cell. - mergeColumns: Merges by column. Adjacent cells in the same column within the selected range are merged into a single cell.
