Worksheet Table - Mixing Merged And Unmerged Cells
Jan 13, 2014
I'm working on doing some data analysis on an excel workbook that comes from a tracking website's reporting system. The data is inconsistently merging some cells in rows where there are multiple entries in a column, and on other cases is not merging those cells.
The format of the spreadsheet is as follows:
A
B
C
1
Account #
Current Services
Order Status
2
1234
PACK1
Completed
[Code] ....
In this example, cells A3:A5 have been merged by the reporting system's export function, but B3:B5 were exported as individual cells. On the other hand, cells A6:A12 are not merged into a single cell.
My goal is to look at the values in column B for each account and compare them to an array of service package codes and to see if any values in B match value in that array for each account number. If the system of cell merging was being consistently applied across all cells, I could figure out a way to link the results for each group of cells in column B to the account number they match up to, but since there are some account numbers that are in unmerged cells, I'm not sure what to do.
I can't alter the way the reporting system exports its data to Excel format, so how to deal with a mixture of merged and unmerged cells in column A. How I could do this without a lot of manual adjustments?

I try to unmerge cells A1:A5 based on a value "unmerged" in cell G1.
Also if I select "merged" in cell G1 (data validation), then cells A1 to E1 will merge to a single cell A1.

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 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 have Userform and It worked fine, but now I included merged cells on worksheet and nothing works anymore.
Userfrom is for employees work schedule.
Userform has combobox to select a day in month, and then listbox gets filled with data for that day.
First problem is that when selecting index from Combobox, worksheet should move to a selected day to left side of Userfom. It worked, but now merged cells are problem.
Second problem is that listbox doesn't show entries properly. Under label ""Job title" there should entries for each employee, now It shows only entry for first one.
And third problem is that I don't know how to fill listbox with start/end values, that should be under "Start/End" label. For now I only have Start time in listbox, but there should be both together like "06:00-14:00".
I tried with this but not working:
[Code] ........
I also noticed that Combobox doesn't show names correctly, 1st of month is listed twice, with different days.

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 have made an input form which the user can input the data of person they wish to sit.
I then used Vlookup to put this data on to a smaller table.
This will make more sense on this download of the program.
http://files-upload.com/199899/MainInput.xls.html
What my problem is....is that i have too rooms and i needed excel too look at the cell see that they want to sit in room one then it looks at what table they want to sit at then looks at the seat they want to sit at then put them there.

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 need to copy certain values of multiple pivot tables of different worksheets into a new worksheet.
To be more clear I attached an example worksheet:
In "Sheet1_pivot table" and "Sheet2_pivot table" I have two pivot table with data divided by Area, Year, quarter and month.
In "Table" i have a summary table where, depending on the values of cell B2, B3 and B4, the summary table has different values copied from the 2 pivot tables.
I was thinking of a code like this but i have problems getting the values from the pivot tables
VB:
Sub else_if()
If Range("B2") = "North" And Range("B3") = "October" Then
ElseIf Range("B2") = "South" And Range("B3") = "October" Then
Else
.
.
.
.
Else
MsgBox ("Area not present")
End If
End Sub

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

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
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.

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 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
