HOW TO MEET A BOX IN EXCEL

Method 1: Use Merge & Center

Note: Only the data in the first cell in the upper left will remain the other cells while merging will lose all data. If the data is using a table style in Excel, it will not be possible to merge cells., you need to convert the table into regular cells before you can manipulate cells.

Step 1 : Select (black out) adjacent cells to be merged.

Step 2 : Select the Home tab, in the Alignment section, select the down arrow icon next to Merge & Center and select the type of cell merge. There are three types of cell aggregation to choose from:

1. Merge & Center

If Merge & Center is selected, the cells you select will be combined into one large cell, the text in the first merged cell will be centered among the merged large cells.

2. Merge Across

If you select Merge Across , the cells you select will be combined together in separate lines.

3. Merge Cells

If you select Merge Cells , the cells you select will be combined into a single cell without center alignment like Merge & Center.

Method 2: Using Visual Basic to merge cells without losing data

If you want to combine cells whose data is also included in the cells, then do the following:

Step 1: Select (black out) the cells to merge cells, next select the card View -> Macros or you press the combination Alt + F8.

Step 2: On the interface of the Macro window, enter any name you want in the Macro name box (put the name without spaces) -> Create to open the Visual Basic window .

Step 3 : In the Module window, enter the following code in the middle of Sub test (). End Sub

Dim Cll As Range, Temp As String On Error Resume Next If Selection.MergeCells = False Then For Each Cll In Selection If Cll <> "" Then Temp = Temp + Cll.Text + "" Next Cll Selection.Merge Selection.Value = Left (Temp, Len (Temp) - 1) Else Selection.UnMerge End If Selection.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter Selection.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter 

Remember to enter the correct code above, if you want to combine the cells that have one line per data, you change the code line

If Cll <> "" Then Temp = Temp + Cll. Text + "" becomes

If Cll <> "" Then Temp = Temp + Cll. Text + vbCrLf

After entering you select Run -> Continue ( F5 key ).

A message appears, select OK , then turn off Visual Basic and see the results.
