Use the MergeArea property to determine whether a cell is merged.

If ActiveCell.MergeArea.Address < ActiveCell.Address Then
Debug.Print "Cell merged"
Else
Debug.Print "Cell not merged"
End If

I have written a macro that searches a worksheet for lines of
data that are
missing data from one column. It works except for when it
reaches a header
half way down the sheet that is a merged cell 5 cells wide. It
treats this
as 1 cell and so my conting system goes ary. How do you either
deal with
this or detect the fact that the activecell is part of a merged
group of
cells?

I am new to this so don't worry about explaining in simple
terms.

Thanks in advance
