Since @Michael ONeil went to the trouble of documenting a complete solution we went ahead and added it to the latest release of the VBO (v6.10.9). This is now available on the DX.
WARNING: Merging cells call result in the loss of data. Excel only keeps data from the upper-left cell. Any other data in the cell range is discarded. Keep this in mind before you use this action. 😉

Are you using the method specifically as @Michael ONeil described it above, or are you using the updated VBO from the DX? In the VBO, we added the following additional line before the merge:
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Go to the following link, sign into the DX, and then download the latest MS Excel VBO bprelease file. Once you've downloaded that, you'll need to import it into your Blue Prism instance.
