If you are linking a single cell in sheet1 to a merged cell on another sheet
the single cell is not merged so Greg's code will not work on it.

Regular wrap text and autofit should work on single cells in sheet1

Hi Greg,

Great code! Works like a charm. I found an area where this does not appear
to work. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I have an
Excel spreadsheet where information in entered in cells on one tab. Those
cells are linked to merged cells on another tab. This code does not appear
to work when applied to the merged cells that are linked. Any way around
this? Thanks,

Terry

Paste the following to the worksheet's code module. The code assumes that
each cell within A1:A10 is merged to adjacent columns as opposed to these
cells being merged - e.g. A1:D1 are merged, A2:D2 are merged, A3:D3 are
merged etc. Change the range reference to suit. Can be a single cell.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim NewRwHt As Single
Dim cWdth As Single, MrgeWdth As Single
Dim r As Range, c As Range, cc As Range
Dim ma As Range

Set r = Range("A1:A10")
If Not Intersect(Target, r) Is Nothing Then
Set c = Target.Cells(1, 1)
cWdth = c.ColumnWidth
Set ma = c.MergeArea
For Each cc In ma.Cells
MrgeWdth = MrgeWdth + cc.ColumnWidth
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ma.MergeCells = False
c.ColumnWidth = MrgeWdth
c.EntireRow.AutoFit
NewRwHt = c.RowHeight
c.ColumnWidth = cWdth
ma.MergeCells = True
ma.RowHeight = NewRwHt
cWdth = 0: MrgeWdth = 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If
End Sub

Alternatively, size the column width of a single cell in the same row to the
combined column widths of the merged range. Format the font, wraptext and
alignment exactly the same except change the font colour to be the same as
the background (to hide it). Enter a formula that references the active cell
of the merged range (e.g. "=C10"). Use the worksheet_change event to force
autofit of this cell. The merged cell range will then autofit along with it.
This assumes it is columns that are merged. Use the same logic if rows are
merged.

Regards,
Greg

I have merged a number of cells and included text that wraps in the cell. Is
it possible to set the cell so that the height is automatically adjusted to
the height of the text?
