Tip: Looking for answers? Try searching our database.

Sometimes entering simple function causes it to occupy two cells, why?

I was putting a slightly modified version of this function into cell
B12, in doing so it occupied cell B12 and B13 and merged the space
together.  This happens often when I am using functions, how can I make
sure it only takes up one cell address?

=IF(ISERROR(FIND("Astro",A17)),"","*****")

Are the 2 cells merged?  Select the cell(s) and click on Format - Cells -
Alignment tab, is the "Merge cells:" box checked?  If it is, uncheck it.

No, they are not merged.  If I copy this function into any new
spreadsheet it happens as well.
