Do we have any possibility of writing merge custom cells using write to data store entity,

Firstname, lastname, city and state are fields from DB. I want to write Name and address but name column should be a merge cell i.e. A1:B1 , same goes with address column. We have the possibility of doing this with the template i.e. keeping this template. But what if, we dont want to use a template then do we have any option.

What do you mean by "merge" here?

What would the output look like / what would the end result of the "merge" be?  The DB is not the same as an Excel file...

WHat do you want to do is merge cells, when reading or when writing data? If you have that info in the DDBB, why would you want to merge the data in another column?

Custom Cell Positions and Custom Cell Values parameters can be used to write any data to an Excel file while using the Export Data Store Entity to Excel smart service.
Ex.
Custom Cell Positions: {"A1", "B1"}
Custom Cell Values: {"test@test.com", "07/10/2024"}
However, you can't merge cells.
