I am generating a calendar view of project information in excel with the column headings as dates. Every project should be a merged group of cells spanning the rows for the proper dates.
Right now I generate a new row with new merged cells for every project (100 projects = 100 rows, even if the project only spans a single day!)
I need to be able to consolidate the project data so that if two projects' dates don't overlap they are put in a single row.
My merged cells are not purely aesthetical - each merged cell (covering 6 rows in total, beginning at A3:A8) has colums and rows to the right for other details/formulae relating to that specific merged cell (which contains a customer account name).
The list I'm trying to reference is on a seperate tab - 'Projects' starting in cell A4. This list will have project names added to it, so I need my merged cells to reference the list, and subsequently pulling through all new additions to the list, rather than having to add them on a 2nd time.
I'm trying to add rows in range that has merged cells and unmerged cells combined
The number of rows that is already available before adding is dynamic so can be different each time
Set up is as following
columns A merged, B merged , C merged, D not : free rows , E merged again (merged start up is from 1-6 but as stated should become dynamic each time a row is added in column E
same set up is repeated from row 7-12 , etc....
so I i'm in block A (combo of merged colums and free rows in E ) one row should be added in colum E (E would then be 1-7 and be part of block A) same for the other "blocks".
Merge a cell to the cell below it. Now merge the cell below the merged cell to the cell below it. Make one more merged cell. Now put text in each one like this "excel", "hates", "me". Now click on a different cell somewhere else on the page and go to menu Data --> Validation. Choose "List" and then in the source click the little button to the right and then highlight your three cells. Now you have a drop down menu in the somewhere else cell.
But when you go to the dropdown menu it has blank spaces in between the entries (because of the merged rows). If you do the same thing but the list is with cells that are not merged to the rows below then it doesn't have the blank rows. If you are only dealing with cells that are merged in twos it is okay because it is spaced all pretty and everything. The problem is when the cells are not merged evenly so everything looks uneven.
how to get rid of the apparent blank entries in the drop down menu?
I wish to copy a merged cell (3 cells) based on if only 1 of 3 cells to the right contain "X". if the top cell does not contain "X" than the merged cell is not copied. Also, is therea more elegant to copy 3 columns at a time rather than do one at a time as my code shows:
Sub CopyICUCAPU() ' ' CopyICUCAPU Macro ' Dim i As Integer
I am trying to use a macro to delete 2 columns from a spreadsheet using a macro.
This sounds easy, but due to the fact the columns needing to be deleted ‘cross’ merged rows the macro then deletes all the columns based on the merged cells.
In the attached spreadsheet (ColDel) if you manually highlight columns D and E and then use Edit/Delete this will delete columns D and E correctly.
Column A's rows are merged according to column B. E.g.
Column A:
Row 1-7 (merged) Ron
Column B:
Row 1: New Jersey Row 2: New Delhi Row 3: New Jersey Row 4: New York Row 5: New York Row 6: New Jersey Row 7: New York
My result should be like:
Column A:
Row 1: Ron
Column B:
Row 1: New York
and similarly for other rows also.
PS: The no. of rows merged for column A can be different.
Also the keyword that should be present in Column B should be according to hierarchy, New York, New Delhi and then New Jersey i.e. first the macro should check for New York, if its present (in 1st 7 rows according to example given) then New York should be written in Coulmn B, if New York is not present then it should check for New Delhi and New Delhi should be written in Column B and if New York and New Delhi both are not present then it should check for New Jersey.
There are only 3 keywords which need to be checked i.e. New York, New Delhi and New Jersey.
If these 3 keywords are not present then the macro should not do anything.
I have a game where people are scored on the spreadsheet, but they can join anytime, so everyday, I get a combined list of points. The list consists of people who joined previously, and the new players. How should I combine the points?
I am looking for a code that will clear all of my unlocked cell in sheet 1. That is not a problem but since many of the cells are merged I know it keeps throwing me an error saying cannot change contents of merged cells or something like that. Does anyone know how to get around this without unmerging the cells. I saw a code to unmerge all of the cells on a sheet but I really don't want to do this as I already have worked around most of my problems with the merged cells.
I have a spradsheet that I've formatted using merged cells. The spreadsheet has several columns. Into these columns I must enter raw data extracted from our SAP data base. The extraction worksheet has no merged cells. So bottom line, I have a column of say, 30 non-merged cells and I want to paste that column into my formatted spreadsheet that has 30 merged cells of thre cells a piece (90 cells total).
So far I have been unable to do this. If I've attached it correctly, the sample attached
Im having problems trying to sort through data and linking certain data. I will post example below:
Main 1 Main 2 Main 3 Sublevel 1-4
[Code]....
This is just one part of a row of the workbook but shows the Main data which is made up of 4 different sub levels on the right. I merged 4 cells for the main data so that all the cells lined up but I'm still having problems with being able to sort and link the files together so that when I filter, they all do it together. The example didn't paste well.
i have a problem to sort merged cells in the file attached. i tried via macro but could not reached a good solution. I have 30 plans inside the sheet and even manually is too hard to do it because i use some "=" to not type again every number since some are the same but when i try to sort the lines became diferent values.
I now see why alot of you dont like merged cell's. What i am trying to do is Cut and paste a range that contains merged cells. A kit can be created using the Button on the sheet. The cells in column G are merged down to the last kit item. On Row A of the kit the 1st cell contains data validation once the Delete kit cell is re-entered it removes the selected kit from the sheet. Then will select all kits below the (now deleated one) and cut the range, and paste it to where the old kit was located.
When the kit's are pasted into the new location there are issues with the merged cells in column G. Is there a way to fix this issue, or know of another approach to keeping the same layout.
I have exported a report to Excel from a BI tool called ZAP.
Unfortunately the cells in the columns are merged by group eg. salesperson, product, country.
I need to be able to filter by each of the columns - the only way i can think of is to unmerge and copy the information to the rest of the "merge area".
This will be extremely time consuming as there are more than 1000 rows and at least 5 columns that I want to filter.

I have a spreadsheet that has merged cells on that is typed into.
I have a Macro that pulls the information into another sheet and then it tries to clear the cells for the next person to fill in. The issue I am having is that i cant clear the merged cell. I have tried the following code
I have a table where sometimes cells are merged. To the right they are not merged, but I need to link to the value of the merged cell. How can I do it if I don't want to do it manually?
Example: Say A1:A4 is merged, A5 is just normal. I want a formula using those values, say in B1:B5. Now just filling down the formula would reference A1, A2 and so forth. This is wrong.
I have a workbook in Excel 2007 where I am creating a summation worksheet through the use of arrays which sumif and countif the other worksheets. Things went fine until about halfway through when I started getting merged cell errors. In between the calculations, I had some merged cell rows for section titles. I was not entering the array into them, but researched the error and unprotected the cells. Problem solved. Now, with 10 row to go, I started getting the error again. I unmerged the sectional title rows. I verified that the cells are not protected. However, when I ctrl+shift+enter to input the array, my formula is moving from the cell that I am inputting to, to the cell in the row directly beneath it.
I need to compare cells in two worksheets but with a difference ex: Worksheet 1 contains merged/single Cells Worksheet 2 contains single Cells Now , i fneed to compare first merged/single cell in Worksheet1 with first single cell in Worksheet2 and similarly , second merged/single cell in Worksheet1 will be compared with second single cell in Worksheet2 and so on......... Though i can use exact and compare them maually by specifying cells but since i need to make it general , suppose second time there can be some other combination of Merged cells I need to compare with Worksheet2 .
I have a merged cell area, several columns wide and 2 rows deep.
I know that pressing enter before reaching the end of the first row moves to the next cell below. Is there any method, either key combination or whatever, of moving to the next row within the merged cell?
I have the following VBA script that merges 2 cells together, but at the end of the merge I need it to add the filename and path of the active workbook.....
Sub Merge() Dim Cell_e, Cell_Sheet1 As Variant Dim R, C As Integer 'This Macro is add the Test condtion and the precondtions together in 1 cell, before they are exported to TD
Sheet2.Select R = 11 C = 9 Do Until Sheet1.Cells(R, 9).Value = "" Cells(R, 9).Select Cell_Sheet1 = Sheet1.Cells(R, 9).Value Cell_e = Sheet2.Cells(R, 7).Value Sheet2.Cells(R, 7) = "Test Condtion: " & Cell_Sheet1 & Chr(10) & Chr(10) & "Test Preconditions " & Cell_e R = R + 1 Loop
I have read the posts regarding merged cells and understand they should be avoided, but I am working with spreadsheets created by others. My problem is that I need to sort the data, but some of the cells are merged so it won't work. Is there a macro command to easily find the merged cells and unmerge them?
I've attached a spreadsheet with a simplified example of my situation. Notes appear at the far right to explain my desired result. I've read through lots of posts on the forum but haven't yet found anything to mimic.
I'm building a calendar to display promotion activity by week for multiple customers and multiple products. The source data only lists one event per row, so the current result is not as concise I know it could be. I end up with twleve different rows for customers with activity each month on the same product, where I'd like to see just one row with all activity for the year.
Can anyone assist with either VBA or a formulaic solution? I've tried a few things with if/and statements followed by a concatenation of previous rows, but this seems like it will not have the intelligence to calculate only rows that match, I keep coming up short. Can OFFEST be used in some way?
I am conditional formatting with fill colour based on specific text- the cells are merged down into a double cell- when the cell changes colour it goes half one colour and half another colour based on the order i have them in the rules- i only have them set to one colour per specific text and the text is all different- so why am i getting this half and half look?
I have a pair of workbooks in which one calculates a number of values and I want to store the values only in the other.
I would expect to be able to highlight the range of the calculated cells in the source workbook, Copy and then Paste Special | Values in the other.
Both the source and the target contain some merged cells. When I try to do the paste, it complains that "this operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized".
They are identically sized.
I have even done Paste Special | Column Widths to guarantee they are identically sized. It doesn't complain about the merged cells then; in fact, it doesn't complain about the merged cells with any of the other paste operations, only with Values.
I have been able to repeat the behaviour with a very simple example. See the two attached sheets. Try pasting Values only of the range $B$2:$D$4 from either one to the other.
When I first created the samples they worked. What seemed to triggered it is I changed one of the merged column widths by one pixel, tried expecting it to fail (and it did), changed that column width back again and it hasn't worked since. As I said, I even tried pasting the Column Width to the target, which it appeared to do successfully, but it hasn't helped.
Now, the attached examples are only to show the principle of the problem. They are very simple and there would be a myriad alternative work-arounds for them. In my original case though there are many formulae over a much larger range and I want other people to be able to paste values without having to follow complicated instructions, so I am not looking for work-arounds unless someone has a mind-numbingly simple one that my numb mind has overlooked.
The only other way of solving the problem that I can think of would be to write a macro that copies cell values individually, but I'd rather not do that because I know these people: they will get narky about having to enable macros. It will be "against organisation policy" or something.
Is there any way of resetting the target workbook so that it will receive the values from the source?
I've just created a spreadsheet that we will be using as a project review form. In this spreadsheet I have multiple rows of merged cells, column D to N, for comments. I need these comment areas, merged rows, to autofit whatever is cut and pasted or typed into them.
The first problem is cutting and pasting from a pdf. All of the documents we received for the projects we bid are in pdf format. We often cut and paste from those documents into an older version of our review sheet that was built in Word. Trying to cut and paste the same information into Excel ends up in failure. Is there a way that this can be done without jumping through hoops?
The second problem I’m running into is when I cut and paste into a comment area I get the typical Excel error message that the information being pasted does not fit the area it is being pasted into. It there a workaround for this?
My third problem is autofitting the pasted information into the merged cells. I’ve seen some VBA and tried a couple but they don’t work automatically when the comments area is filled. How can I do this? I don’t know VBA. I'm using MS Office 2003
I have a VBA form that I would like to assign to a cell, but it's a merged cell. When I do this, the form does not run. If I assign it to a single cell, it runs fine. Is there a trick to tell the macro that the target address is a merged cell?
I finally have the merged cells resizing the way I need, however it seems to lock the cell after the process not allowing it to be edited again until I unlock the sheet. below is the current code I am using
