View 6 RepliesI've been working on a macro which delivers a daily report. the report is made up of 4 sections (received orders, scheduled orders, pending orders and unusual orders) each section is topped by a title which is a merge of all columns (A through I) the problem I am having is that the first column displays case numbers (to be displayed in text or number formats) and the 7th and 8th columns are dates When I try to have the VBA select the first column to format as a number, it will select all columns due to the merged cells is there a way to format only non-merged cells of a columns
This is the section I currently use for formatting but it doesn't actually work, (everything ends up in a date format)
[Code] .......
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 can I select all non-blank cells (including constants and formulas) in a sheet? I am familiar with SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants) and SpecialCells.(xlCellTypeFormulas) but these seem to be mutually exclusive.
Can I do something like: NOT SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)?
how to get a selective cell range after i apply a filter,
I have it currently that it will copy the data shown but i don't want it to copy if there is no data present?.

i need a macro that will select all the blank cells in a column.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet which always contains data beginning in column A and through row H. However, there may be blank cell(s) in columns B through G. Therefore, if I use
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
it will not take me to column H if say column d has a blank cell. The same applies to my rows which always vary.
I have a huge excel file (who doesn't ) and would like to create a macro to select cells between 2 blanc cells in a column. (Then another macro will continue to select all in the table for that specific range and copy-paste to another sheet. But this part is not relevant)
The details
The table will be like below.
So the macro should select between F2:F6. (then another macro will copy F6:A3 and cut-copy this range to another sheet); and when I re-run this macro this time it will copy the range of Model B..
A
B
C
D
E

View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to search Column C for an instance of the text "Std. Residual", then cycle through the non blank cells to the right and run some formatting code:
VB:
'this line will be modified so that i cycle through the non blank cells that i have found
For row_cycle = 1 To 7
'not signifcant
If Abs(ActiveCell) < 1.96 Then
Selection.Interior.Color = 255

I then want to search for the next instance of "Std. Residual" in Column C, do the same again, and so on for the entire Worksheet.
I am using a Uderform in order to check if some cells in several columns are higher or lower than values I set in my textboxes.
However, I think I am having a mistake in my code (it runs but doesnt return the correct informations) as I have blank cells in certain columns.
Concretely I am giving 1 point if the criteria is valid (if for example the value in the cell is <= 1) but some of these criteria are 1 when they should be 0.
As I said it runs but I need to add a fix for empty cells / blank cells and if possible N/A error cells in this so that the code gives 0 to the criteria and moves to the next column (next select case)..
I have a spreadsheet which is used by users unfamiliar with Excel. They are using the filter to select records, however when this is used some records appear which have no entry in the cells of that column. Can I overcome this? There is no data in the blank cells, other than a data validation drop down.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 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 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.
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.....

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 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
