title: How to read merged cell values of an excel file with openpyxl / python?
body: <p>I have been trying to read value of a merged cell by using openpyxl module. However, it gives below error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>if ws.cell(row=i, column=j).value == q.get(): #and ws.cell(row=i+1, column=j).value == 'tot.':
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>AttributeError: 'MergedCell' object has no attribute 'value'</p>
  
  <p>What do you suggest? Thanks in advance!</p>
