Someone is then merging the remaining six blank cells with the Midwest cell to create a merged cell that is 7 cells tall. If there are 7 rows for the Midwest region, the word Midwest appears only on the first row. Please help if possible! I'll really be thankful.Merged cells are the problem today, but these are vertical merged cells. Is it possible to do so by adjusting the above macro. However, I want to exclude some specific merged cell from autofit even when the wrap text is on.įor example, Range C5:C8 and Range E3:E7 are two merged cells with wrap text on, and I want to exclude these two merged cells from autofit.
MERGING CELLS IN EXCEL TO FIX ALL THE WORDS CODE
This code works well for all the merged cell where text wrap is on. If ProtectStatus Then Me.Protect "password" If ProtectStatus Then Me.Unprotect "password" I've found a working vba to solve this issue quickly here. Probably count the characters and based upon the font size or something like that. What is does is count the carriage feeds chr(10) and based on that returns the number of lines of text + 2, but that does not always work because the text passed is through a userform and when wordwrap is set the to true in the textbox the linefeed is not counted so what I really need ti find out is how much characters per line are needed for each line of text in a merged range before it wrap. ' since the last line doesn't have a line break.Ĭount_TextLines = IIf(Len(Trim(myText)) = 0, 0, (Len(myText) - Len(Replace(myText, Chr(10), "")) + 2)) ' This gives back the number of breaks so we add 1 to get the number of lines, ' Counts the lines by comparing the contents by the themselves after removing Public Function count_TextLines(myText As Variant) As Integer Hi, i've been trying to get this working too but do run into issues. The only thing you will need to do is make sure that you don't print the contents of column Z when you do your printing. This, of course, allows all the text in the merged cell to be visible. The effect of these steps is that Excel will set the row height based upon the contents of column Z, which just happen to match the contents of the merged cell in columns A and B. Make the width of column Z slightly narrower than the combined width of columns A and B.(Column Z should not be merged with anything, nor should it be marked as merged.) Ensure the text formatting of column Z is exactly the same as in the merged cell, with the exception of merging.In column Z (or some other column outside of your data table range, but not immediately adjacent), put a simple formula reference to column A, as in =A1.Merge the cells in columns A and B as desired.(These steps assume you are merging the cells in columns A and B, and that your data table only includes columns A through K.)
The process is described in the following general steps. You do this by using a separate column that is created for the express purpose of setting row height.
If you don't want to use a macro, you can fool Excel into setting the row height properly. Such a macro wouldn't be that trivial to create.) The macro could then reset the column width, merge the cells, and set the new row height.
A good approach is to have the macro determine the column width of the merged area, unmerge the columns, set the first column to that width, and determine the row height required to AutoFit it. One way around the problem is to use a macro to set the row height to the desired height. Doing so, however, apparently has no affect-AutoFit seems to completely ignore merged cells in doing its magic. At first blush you may think that you can use the AutoFit feature (Cells | Format | AutoFit or Format | Rows | AutoFit) to adjust the height of the row in which the merged cell is located. If you subsequently merge that cell with an adjacent cell, even if the adjacent cell has text wrapping turned on, then the resulting merged cell's row height is not adjusted so that all the text is visible.Įxactly why Excel does this is unclear, but there is no intrinsic way around it-Excel just does it. He points out that if a cell is set with text wrapping turned on, that Excel automatically adjusts the row height for the cell so that all the wrapped text is visible. Ernie asked if there was a way for Excel to automatically adjust the row height in cells that are merged.
