Combine cells in a revit schedule?

Is there anyway to combine cells in a Revit schedule. I have a conduit schedule where we have multiple feeds in one conduit. So some parameters are universal to the whole conduit (conduit size, ID, etc.), and some are just for the individual feeds in the conduit (wire size, comments, etc.). I want to combine the parameters that are universal into one cell to make the schedule easier to read. The image shows what a previous job done in autocad looked like. 

 

Currently I have the universal properties as type parameters in the ID tag family, and the non-universal properties as instance parameters. Just in case there's some other way this needs to be set up to achieve what I'm after. 

 

In the past people have just made a schedule with line work and text, but I want to start moving us to smart tags, so we can edit a conduit ID in one place and have it change on floorplans, one-lines, and schedules.

There's ways within Revit to group common parameters but they'll generally display as Header/Footer type fields instead of merged cells. Cell Merging in schedules really only occurs within the schedule top header, and none of that information is 'smart'.


Personally, I don't find the unmerged cell structure less readable, it just consumes a bit more printer ink and your schedules may wind up slightly wider or taller.

You cant merge the Cells, but you can use Combine Parameters.

this allows you to "merge" the two parameters into one cell.
