problem with Paste-Special-Values from a List (range of cells)
I have Rows 94 to 175 in Columns B:D, E:F, and G ... each cell has a (pick)
List data validation. So, that's about 240 cells, each with a different pick-list value. I highlight that range (B94:G175) and do a Ctrl-C. Then, I try to Paste-Special-Values to a different worksheet that has the SAME EXACT CELL FORMATs. But, I get an error that says "This operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized." Why am I getting this error? Or, rather, how can I prevent this error? The cells ARE identically sized. And, if I do ONE cell at a time, it works fine. Only when I try to copy/paste two or more cells at the same time do I get the error. Any suggestions? |

This is a long standing bug (in my opinion) with merged cells. You can do a
PS-Formulas as a workaround I think. You should get the same result as a PS-Values if you do not have formulas in the source range, which presumably you don't since these are input cells. -- Jim "crimsonkng" wrote in message ... |I have Rows 94 to 175 in Columns B:D, E:F, and G ... each cell has a (pick) | List data validation.
