I've been following this thread and wondering what a use case would be for
subdividing cells.


I own a breeding kennel. I created a table to keep track of medication administration
col A: date
col B: dog 1 name, col title being the medication
but when I got to col C I needed to put in 3 dog names, with the col title being the medication
I also use a winding for a checkbox.

It sure would have been nice to be able to subdivide col C horizontally. The only way I could do it was to put in the first box and the first dog's name and then space until it forced a wrap and put in the second and again for the third. Of course it all falls apart if I change the col width.
It sounds like a relational database is what you need to use instead of the spreadsheet. Then you would not have to split cells. In fact, you would not be limited in how many dogs you place in this column.
