    merged cells and calculations

    I have a table where each row has merged cells. when I populate this table with data (numbers) and try to graph, the graph is seeing the adjoined merged cell data as zeros. I can't figure out how to factor these cells out.

    My exampe with merged cells:

    year 1 year 2 year 3 year 4
    2000 4000 3200 6400

    what the chart sees

    year 1 year 2 year 3 year 4
    2000,0, 4000,0, 3200,0 6400,0

    Please advise

    Re: merged cells and calculations

    Unmerge the cells and reorganize if you have to. Merging cells is a bad idea when using the data for subsequent calculations or data manipulation.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
