Merged Cells With Data In Are Being Deleted
Jul 23, 2012I have a spread sheet with merged cells in that contain data, when i ask excel to seek blank cells and delete them moving the others up it also deletes the merged cells.

The data is as under: -

Looking for a formula to accomplish the following:
I'm trying to populate cell A31 on a worksheet titled "VolumeTotals" with the data in Cell E23 from a worksheet titled "CurrentCustomers" if the merged cells F3-F22 on worksheet "CurrentCustomers" are equal to the word "Contract".
How do you view or display data from cells that have been merged?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet that has been given to me by someone else, and unfortunately it has merged cells in it that are causing some trouble. I need to have a way to unmerge the merged cells, but for the data in the merged cell to then be copied into each cell that it splits into.
I've attached two spreadsheets - unfortunately I can't really attach the real one since it has research data in it, so I've reduced the size of the file and replaced some of the text. The first file shows how the file starts off, and the file named "result" shows how I would like it to be.
My real file contains some 10,000+ lines of data, and the merged cells are of varying sizes, with no consistency to the size, so I'd like a way to automate this instead of copy and pasting into every empty cell after I unmerge them.
I would like to have a macro to automatically generate a statistics table (on the "statistics" tab) with the 5 following fields:
Fragment names / # samples / # of failed samples / % of success / # of variations in the fragment (SNP). At the bottom of this table, I would like to have a cell with the average % of success for all fragments. The data to generate these statistics are on the "gene name" tab (please note that this name will change every time I will work on a new gene). To make things easier, I think the macro should be run from this tab.
1. The Fragment names are displayed in row #5. I use one column per variation per fragment. If one fragment has 3 variations, there will be three columns and I will merge together the fragment name cells. The fact that some cells are merged can be a problem when copy-paste to the stats table (as I would like to get rid of the merging).
2. # of samples corresponds to the number of cells in blue in column A. The number of samples can change from one report to another but is always constant in the same report.
3. # of failed sequences. In the table, I type "Failed Sequence" (if the analysis has failed) and "Missing Sequence" (if the analysis has not been done). When a sample is failed or missing, it is for the who fragment, no matter how many variation there is in the fragment, so I usually merge the cells of all variations for this failed sample.
4. % of success: this is quite easy #sample/#of failed+missing sequence for this fragment
5. # of variation is equal to the number of variations for this fragment (can be 0, 1, 2, etc.). When there is no variation in a fragment, I put '-- in all cells of the corresponding fragment on the "gene name" tab. Fragment 3 on my file is an example of 0 variation.
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:

I have a sheet (sheet2) that has cells in column L, M and N referencing cells in another sheet (sheet1)(same workbook).
If I delete a row out of Sheet1 it causes the formula in Sheet2 to go to #REF.
Normally the formula would be something like
='Sheet1'!L13
How can I get these formulas to not change just because cells where deleted from Sheet1?
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.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet where I've deleted data in cells and rows. I am left with alternating rows of data and blank rows however a macro that I've been running to delete blank rows does not work on some of the rows.
To delete the data I used the Find and Replace feature and it seems that afterward the cells where this data was is now somehow marked as not completely empty. It appears empty but if I use the Control-Right Arrow combination from Column A, it skips over some cells but stops on a cell that used to contain data. If I press the Delete key it clears the cell completely and if I do that on all the cells the Ctrl-Right Arrow stops on until the end of the row, the macro works on that row...but not the next row of seemingly empty cells.
It's not spaces and there's no apostrophes and the cells are all formatted as General (Number Style) and Normal (Styles). I've even copied the format of a row of all deleted cells but that still does not completely clean out the "empty" cells. I've also run the Inspect Document command to remove what may be there but same results.
Is there something I can do to locate and remove this mysterious data?
I've a worksheet with 36 columns to keep track of a football confidence pool,I've a CF in which a W is entered in every other column from B1:AG1 and it highlites the whole column yellow,in column A is all players names,from column B2:AG2 I enter the 32 NFL teams,in row B3:AG3 I enter points from 1-16,in column AI it adds all numbers in yellow per row which gives me a weekly score,in column AJ I've the players name and there year to date points and finally in column AL it ranks the players by highest point total.
I will use this on a weekly bases for 16 weeks,what I need is for column AJ to keep adding the players points once I delete there respective numbers from rows B3:AG3 and add new ones for the following week.
Formula in cell AI3 =sumif($B$1:$AG$1,"W",$B3:AG3) copied down
Formula in cell AJ3 =A3 & " " & AI3 copied down
Formula in cell AL3 =rank(AI3,$AI$3:$AI$8,0) copied down
I also have the following macro an my sheet which allows me to use the formula in column AI3.

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 been setting up some pivot tables. Down the left side of the pivot table is the values from a column labelled TRACKS. There are about eight different TRACKS. Say Track1, Track2, Track3, etc. I have set the data range up as a dynamic named range so that if more rows or columns are added to the data then the pivot table will automatically incorporate these.
Today I wanted to test that the pivot was working as expected. One of the things I did was stick a few extra values into the TRACKS column on the data source. These were TEST1 and TEST2. These appeared in the TRACKS down the left side of the pivot table as expected.
When I deleted these two test values, however, they would not disappear from the pivot table. There seemed to be nothing I could do to make them go away, except to rebuild the pivot table from scratch.
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.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI 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 merged cell C2:C9. When I insert formula =C5, it returns 0. How do I make it to return the actual value?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI 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
Code:
Sheets("Coach").Select
Cells(18, 2) = ""
Range(Cells(18, 2), Cells(26, 11)).ClearContents
Sheets("Coach").Cells(18, 2).ClearContents
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.
when i try to link a merged cell to retrieve result, i get cell ref for both cells, i only like to see B7 not B7:E7.

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 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?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a cell in my spreadsheet (J3) that I need to never be changed or else other macros in my workbook will not work properly. I decided to try and use data validation since it is easy to change the rule every month and I can stay away from messing with passwords.
My cell value is a date, so I set data validation to have that cell equal only that specific date. If a user tries to overwrite the cell value, the error messages is prompted correctly. The one BIG problem is that I can just press the delete key and delete the contents of the cell. Is there any way of preventing this from happening without having to lock the cell and password protect the sheet?
When we create a database in an Excel Spreadsheet and then some pivot tables, we use to copy the spreadsheet with another name, in order to clean the data and update it with another date (for instance, one excel spreadsheet for one BU or country, another one for other bU or country), to avoid creating the pivot tables again and again.
However, when we clean up all the data and enter the new one, on the Pivot Tables fields, you still see the "old data that was deleted"... Do you know if there is a way to delete that data without recretaing the pivot table?
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?
