Is it possible to merge excel cells without using actxserver

Suppose the code is running on a system which does not have an excel application installed.

We can still generate an excel using

witecell(data,filename)

But can we merge the cells (lets say the range 'A1:A5') without using the actxserver ?

Could you provide a minimal example that illustrates your goal and the type of data you're working with?

No, not through writecell. I've heard there are Python libraries that can do it, and there are ways to call Python from Matlab.

My requirement wont accept python part. So apart from actxserver there is no other option to perform this task ?

I've also heard that Apache POI can be called from Matlab -
