    Re: Merged cell

    merged cells should be avoided at all costs - they cause endless problems with formulas - as you are discovering.

    Doesnt matter if they are merged horizontal, vertical or both, in a merged cell, only the top left most cell contains anything, ALL other cells in the merged range are considered empty/blank
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    Did you miss the first paragraph in the link that said you should avoid merged cells.

    Re: Merged cell

    Instead of merging the cells, what is your end goal?
    What are you trying to do and maybe there is a different solution.

    What is the purpose of merging cells if "A1" if "A2" is blank?
