Define Merged Cells - Before Save Function
Oct 19, 2008
I used this forum to successfully prevent a user from saving a workbook without entering data in a certain cell. However, I now have a merged cell that I must refer to when writing my "before save" code and don't know how to refer to that cell. Below is what I have: One workbook with nine worksheets. The merged cells I want to refer to are H11 and I11 in sheet seven. User RYLO posted the below code that worked for me but I don't know how to alter it to refer to a merged cell.

I currently have this macro that helps me SUM all the cells that are bold.
Public Function SumBold(Rng As Range)
Dim Total As Double
Dim Cell As Object
Application.Volatile
For Each Cell In Rng
If Cell.Font.Bold Then Total = Total + Cell.Value
Next
SumBold = Total
End Function
I want to have the same kind of Macro, but that could COUNT the number of cells that are Bold.

I have a file that I have created that the users will use as a master template to create data that I need. Once they have finished, I want the file to define what the filename should be when they click save.
At the same time, I want to disable "Save As..." as some users will just use that and then will use a file name that another macro (that I will use) won't recognise.

In Mr Excel's Pod Cast on April 12th, he showed how to use the OFFSET function to define a range inside a SUM function. Then he had Conditional Formatting that would highlight the range that was being summed. Can anyone tell me what the formula would be inside the Conditional Formatting dialog box to get the OFFSET range to have a certain format?

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".

I am trying to create a correlation matrix that uses the =ADDRESS function to define the various columns of data which I want to correlate against each other (I require this flexibility because the number of columns and rows of data to be correlated will change). The basic formula I am using is something like the following: =CORREL((ADDRESS(Sheet1!$C$2+3,L2+2,,,"Sheet1")),(ADDRESS(Sheet1!$B$2,L2+2,,,"Sheet1")))
However, while the individual ADDRESS fomulas deliver the correct start and end cell references required, it seems that CORREL function won't accept the cell addresses that result from using the =ADDRESS function.

I have made my own excel function that my users needs every day. it works just fine, however if you do not know the required argument for this function, you couldn't use it. How can i prompt my users for the right order of the argument when they type the function in excel?. example is when you type the Function "=left(" you will be prompted by excel of the correct arguments.

I want to calculate a weighted average but I need it to only calculate on the months to date. I have a data validation drop down on a title page that is toggled to the current month each time a report is needed to define what months have actuals. I bring in data for all the months but only the current months have actuals. I need to calculate the weighted average on ONLY the ACTUALS. How can I set the ranges for sum product based on the data validation list on the title page?

I've recently been making a macro in visual basic that loops through all my excel files and replaces an old company name to a new company name and It's working great, well except for one thing... It always misses one string in the file and it leaves me with 90% of the file corrected. I think that the string might be a part of a merged range so Range.Find is not able to find it. I was suggested to use this code:
[Code] ......
Because that's the code that is generated when using the replace function in MS Excel 2010, but I keep getting syntax errors?

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()

'
Dim i As Integer

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 am working on some code to copy data from one sheet to another, but I'm not sure if I'm going about defining the copy range correctly. I would like it so that the user can highlight a range of cells on the sheet between A3 and F last row (last row based on col C). However the user should be able to highlight rows in any column between A and F, and they could highly the records with just one column or multiple columns. It should take the row numbers of the highlighted range and use the that as the row number to extract the data from.
[Code] ........
Im currently getting runtime error 13 on 'CopyRange = Selection.Rows'
'CopyRange = Selection.Row' returns the single row number for the first cell in the selection, but i need the range of all the rows in the selection.

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?

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

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

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?
