merge two cel into ONE retaining the two values
 

If you run this macro:

Sub mergge()
Range("B1").Clear
Range("A1:B1").Merge
End Sub


then cells A1 and B1 will be merged and only the contents of A1 will be
displayed.

Your subject line is incorrect or your description is incorrect.

Subject says retaining the two values.

Description says only information from A1

That's how merge cells works.

Only the data from the top left cell is retained.

If you want both values in A1 but only A1 value to display, you will have to
concatenate in a third cell, change the formula to values, then hide the word
"CODE" with white font.
