    How can I paste into merged cells? # of cells is equal

    I have 373 rows that have been merged into 176 cells. On another sheet, I have 176 values, each in its own cell, in a column that I wish to paste into the 176 merged cells.

    When I try to paste, it gives me an error - cell must be identical size...

    Is there anyway to fix this?

    Thanks for your help!

    Merged cells are the work of the devil, my friend! Avoid them at all costs.

    Yep ... thanks I ended up un merging all cells, and writing a macro to duplicate the first column values, then organizing it using a pivot table.
