Hello, I have attached a sample file to help explain.
I want to merge and center all the cells in column A that correspond to that states cities without having to go line by line. Is there a way to do this automatically?
EX: I want cells A2:A4, A5:A7, A8:A9, A11:A12, and A13:A15 to merge and center.
Maybe an if macro? I need some help lol
The reason is because i have multiple workbooks similar to this that are 50,000+ lines and going line by line would take a week.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!
Before you do this, please be aware that merged cells can cause problems later on if you need formulae to work with them: most people would advise against them at all costs.

Ali is right!! Unless you have a VERY good reason for doing this.... don't even think about it... For 100,000 reasons you'd be better to put "State" in C1 and use this formula in C2, copied down...
=IF(A2="",C1,A2)
Then select column C, copy & paste values.

Just to add my 2 cents worth, I totally agree (and always advise) that you should avoid using merged dells if at all possible - they cause all sorts of problems with formulas
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
