Hi,

That is the old repository for this R Package.

Please use the new one:

https://github.com/ycphs/openxlsx

The example from above does not work on my computer (R 4.05, openxlsx 4.2.3)
library(openxlsx)
file = "mergedCell.xlsx"
wb <- openxlsx::loadWorkbook(file)
openxlsx::readWorkbook(wb, sheet = 1, cols = 1:4, fillMergedCells = T)

but

library(openxlsx)
file = "mergedCell.xlsx"
openxlsx::readWorkbook(file, sheet = 1, cols = 1:4, fillMergedCells = T)

works.
