Copy Merged Cells to Single Cells ??
 
Have seen other posts on this and seems odd their is no solution. Have a
column of cells where each cell is a few merged cells. Want to copy and
paste these merged cells contents to other cells that are not merged but
always get an error : "Can't change part of a merged cell".

Isn't there a way to cut and paste where the merged cells contents are
treated as a single cells contents? Certain SPECIAL PASTE features?

Paste Values

Maybe I'm confused, but I have only received this message if I am trying to
paste to a merged cell? In other words, when the destination contains a
merged cell, and pasting would result in the merged cells being changed?
Pasting a merged cell to another area does not generate an error. If you
simply paste, it pastes as a merged range. If you paste special, and then
paste values, it only pastes the value - in one cell - as it should?

With VBA it is

Sub CopyMerged()
'A1, B1 & C1 are merged
Range("A1").Copy Range("E1")
End Sub

Seems to work for me.

Get the error that "This operation requires the merged cells to be
identically sized."
