you enlighten me, please? What's wrong with merged cells?


Merged cells cause no end of problems with sorting, copying,
pasting, filtering and a host of other functions, one of which is
you can't use array formulas on a range with merged cells.

To experiment, merge a few cells and try the above functions with a
range that has merged and unmerged cells.


Thanks, Gord.
