When I try to sort my data, I get this error: "This operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized". Does anyone know the fix so the data can be sorted?

Hello,

You need to unmerge the cells, select the area in question, select FORMAT --> CELLS, in the ALIGNMENT tab, uncheck MERGE CELLS.

ALternatively, instead of MERGE CELLS, format them as CENTRE ACROSS SELECTION.
