合并Excel单元格不起作用PHPExcel

Question

need bit of help with PHPExcel.

I am saving data from MySQL table to Excel file.

It almost works, grabs data from database fine, and writes to excel file, but i want to merge 2 columns together, that does not work.

Here's my PHP code:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result2)){
    $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('A'.$rowCount, $row['dir']);
    $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('B'.$rowCount, $row['sta']);
    $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('C'.$rowCount, $row['std']);
    $rowCount++;
}
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->mergeCells('B1:C1');
$objWriter = new PHPExcel_Writer_Excel2007($objPHPExcel);
$objWriter->save('some_excel_file.xlsx');

As you see after while loop i try to merge columnds B & C together, but it doesnt work.

Screenshot of output file:

I want it to be something like this:

I hope you guys understand what i mean and can tell me what i am doing wrong here.

Merge cells does merge cells.. it does not evaluate there content. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Merge-and-unmerge-cells-f7850c71-8663-429a-9316-aa09fc161eaf

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result2)){
    $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('A'.$rowCount, $row['dir']);
    if (!empty($row['sta']) {
        $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('B'.$rowCount, $row['sta']);
    } else {
        $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('B'.$rowCount, $row['std']);
    }
    $rowCount++;
}
//$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->mergeCells('B1:C1');
$objWriter = new PHPExcel_Writer_Excel2007($objPHPExcel);
$objWriter->save('some_excel_file.xlsx');
