Merge and unmerge cells using a macro in an excel report
When I copy a range of cells, some are merged and some not, and it happens that for my report, I need to unmerge them but in some occasions, I need to merge some cells too.
When I use the macro ?
To unmerge all cells that are merged and to merge some cells.

How is/are the macro(s) ?
Copy the code below and paste it into your macro. You will see my comments in green if exist so follow the help to adapt to your need.
To unmerge:
Sub test() ' put only the cells you want to unmerge Range("B2:B10").UnMerge End Sub
To merge:
Sub test() ' put only the cells you want to merge Range("B2:B10").Merge End Sub
If I want to center the comment in the middle, this is the code:
Sub test() ' change B2:B10 by your cell reference With ActiveSheet.Range("B2:B10") .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter .VerticalAlignment = xlCenter .Merge End With End Sub
