How to you merge multiple columns but keep separated by rows?

Hello,

I have a spreadsheet where I have to merge multiple columns but want to keep them separated by rows. For example I have 20 rows and 10 columns. I would like to merge columns D, E, F without deleting any information but keep everything specarted by rows. How do you do this? Thank you.

Best Regards,

Kelly

I do not believe this is currently possible, but I will update my original answer with an example for clarity. This Excel feature, evidently known as “merge across”, has been reported as enhancement request fdo#53850. Given four cells of data in A2:B3:
