Default Can I merge rows to columns

Hi Miche,

i am not sure what you want to achieve....
however, if you want, you can COMBINE the VALUES of two (or more) columns
into one
=A1&B1&C1... and so on.
or even you can add spaces (to see the content easier)
=A1&" "&B1&" "&C1.....

also there is a function doing exactly this, but since i am using local
Excel, don't know exactly the EN name, (mirror translation could be: combine
or concatenate or whatever similar :-)

Is this what you would like to do?
Best regards,

Hi Miche,
In order to write a macro you have to explain exactly what you want to
to do. This might get you started. You might include & " " &
in your concatenation or & CHR(10) &


Sub combine_evenrow_up()
Dim r As Long, i As Long, c As Long
Dim cRow As Long
cRow = ActiveCell.Row
For r = cRow To 2 Step -2
For c = 1 To 20 'rough coding 20006-04-07 d.mcr
Cells(r - 1, c) = Trim(Cells(r - 1, c)) & Trim(Cells(r, c))
Next c
Cells(r, 1).EntireRow.Delete
Next r
End Sub

Run this on test data it is going to go up from the row you have
your active cell on and work on the first 20 columns then delete the
rows that got copied upward. Intended to run up from an even numbered
row if you have no headers.
Don't know if you are familiar with macros or not, you say you ran a macro
report, which is ambiguous.

Can you explain why you want to do this? Merged cells cause a lot of
problems down the road, everything from sorting, copying and pasting. So if
that is what you want I advice against it but you select the cells in
question and do formatcellsalignment and check merge cells. Note that only
the values in the left uppermost cell will be kept.

If you only meant concatenate values you can use

=A1&A2
