I have found that when I set up a spreadsheet I usually start with smaller cells and merge them when required. Its helps with a better layout. I have also heard that it is not good to utilize mathematical functions or formulas in merged cells. Does this create issues?

There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Merged cells almost always create problems for Excel. It is best to avoid them if at all possible.
