How to merge two cells?

Hi, I'm interested in combining two cells into a single cell, similar to how it's done in Excel. Is there a method to accomplish this?

Hi, you will need to fork this library and modify with below changes, because this does not align with the direction of the library at this moment.

1. Modify the way of getting cell components, so that the Table component knows which cells are merged and their position index.
2. For content cells, in measurement stage, instead of passing width/height of single column/row as maximum width/height constraints, pass sum of width/height of all relevant columns/rows.
3. For content cells, In each layout pass, if the cell is a merged cell, you would skip the original handling that calculates and stores maximum width/height needed per column/row based on cell size, and instead if the merged cell size exceeds sum of width/height of all relevant columns & rows, their width/height will be increased proportionally so that their sum is at least the required size (if not bounded by required maximum width/height per column/row).
4. For sticky header cells, similar modification is needed, but the difference is in the measurement stage that, sum of width/height of all relevant columns/rows is passed as the exact size constraint.
