Default Dragging down Formulas

Guys and Girls,

Just wondering if it is possible to drag formula's down the page past a merged cell!

Its not letting me do it, as when i drag my formula over the merged cell and keep going, i get an error message saying that the cells are not identically sized???

thanks

Just one of the many problems that arise when you use the dreaded
merged cells feature.

No way around it.............other than NOT using merged cells.

You can try selecting all the cells to receive the formula (including
the merged cell if desired), type the formula in the active cell, press
'Enter' while holding down 'Ctrl'. This will populate your formula in
all selected cells regardless of 'size' due to merging!
