In Excel, there is no way that can merge cells in a table, but here I introduce a roundabout trick for you to merge cells in a table.

Select the table, the go to the Design tab, click Convert to Range, and then click Yes in the popping dialog to convert the table to a range which also looks like a table. See screenshot:

Then select the cells you want to merge, click Home > Merge & Center, and click OK in the popping out warning dialog. See screenshot:

Or you can copy the table and paste as value, then apply the utilities. Wish it is helpful.
