Merging Cells Without Confirmation Dialog, Please!

[Lillian Bell]

I have a large spreadsheet that I'm formatting and linking to a table in a Word document. I need to merge hundreds of cells and it would go SO MUCH FASTER if I didn't have to confirm that I understand that "Merging cells only keeps the upper-left cell value, and discards the other values." Is there ANY way to disable that dialog??

I don't know if it is possible to make Excel act as you wish but here is a macro that will make your life a lot easier with merging cells repetitively.

Please Login or Register  to view this content.

See attached file for a working example.
You select your cells first, then you run the macro which is assign to the shortcut "CTRL" +"m"
You can copy this maro to your workbook or your Personal.xlsb file which would make this macro available to any workbook you open.
