Excel filling — merged cells causing offset issues

Using the Excel filling feature to populate client tax workpapers. When the target Excel file has merged cells, the data gets placed in the wrong cells — it seems like the merge throws off the row/column counting.

Anyone else seen this? We have hundreds of pre-formatted Excel templates from our tax software and they’re full of merged cells.

Using the web UI, not the API.

We had this exact issue with our financial reports. Our workaround was to unmerge the cells in the template and use formatting (borders + alignment) to achieve the same visual effect. Not ideal if you have hundreds of templates though…

Yeah, unmerging hundreds of templates isn’t really feasible for us. Hoping this gets fixed on the platform side. Filed it as a bug too.
