Copy Paste Issue Merge Cell & Paste Values other Column

Hi All,
hope you are good, first i need a help to copy merge cell value and paste in another location column H without spaces ( merge cell ).
second in column C i want to paste column A names to Column C merge cell. i select Column C ( c1 to c18 ) range then use formula =INDEX($A$1:$A$5,COUNTA(C$1:C1)) Ctrl +Enter result is ZERO.

Thanks

Thanks avk for the reply, actually i know merge is not a good practice, but its a system generated report export to excel, i want alpanumaric code paste to this range, there are two diffrent report not code are match to each other, and second problem date is not also match to each other.
So now i have to replace first report codes to other.
One report is with merge cell. Is there any easy solution to paste this?

Thanks

for the second question: if the cells contain a cell reference, you could use something like this:

or you can add this to my earlier formula

Hi Eastw00d,
Thanks for the reply, the first formula works perfect to unmerge cell column H, but the second i apply did not work. can you please more clarify it =indirect(c1). do i have to create name range by name manager box? . i use =indirect(A1) of cell C1 but did not work.

Thanks

Thanks Eastw00d,
its really perfect, no doubt like a cheer, thanks a lot, kindly one more thing tell me i would like to sum value column E against column C merge cell A1. please see the attached file.
column K i use your formula without INDIRECT to find actual value of cell C1 then apply to sum value =SUM(OFFSET(INDEX($C$1:$C$18,MATCH(K1,$C$1:$C$18,0)),0,2,4,1)). in this formula last one row height is not fix so i put manually type 4,3,2,5,4 when i drag the formula. kindly tell me how to this by formula height AUTO.

kindly consider to this, i would be very thank full for you.

Thanks

Thanks Eastw00d,
Ok i create a new thread for this.
thanks a lot.

in this case when i change a value of cell c1 to c18 replace A1 to TT01 and A4 to YYM1 the indirect formula result is incorrect column H but in column K without INDIRECT formula is giving OK result. can you tell me how INDIRECT is not giving perfect result?
