When this menu is highlighted, the button "Combine and place in the centre", placed in the group of commands Alignment on the Home tab. Click this button or open attached to it a drop-down list and select "unmerge cells". In both cases, the result is the same - Excel will divide the cell into its component cells.

If you want to break a cellthat is a component, will have to do some more operations. You need to make part of the neighboring table cell, creating the impression that the desired cell is divided into several sections. If the cell should be split horizontally, merge will have cells in the row, and a vertical split this should be done with cells of the column.
