Oh, I see, you can check the cell’s IsMerged property and retrieve the range of merged cells using the getRangeAddresses() method from the Table object.
Sudo code:



                # Initialize ColSpan
                col_span = 1

                # Check if the cell is part of a merged cell
                if cell.IsMerged:
                    # If merged, find the range address of the merged cell
                    merged_range = cell.getRangeAddresses()[0]
                    col_span = merged_range.EndColumn - merged_range.StartColumn + 1
