    Exclamation Macro to follow this simple procedure

    Hi All,

    I usually do the steps below manually. Wondering if someone can help me with a macro for that:

    1) Select cells from B3 to the last populated cell in the column B
    2) Unmerge cells
    3) Select blank cells (usually I do that going to the HOME tab, then FIND & SELECT, then GO TO SPECIAL, then BLANKS)
    4) In the first blank cell (usually B4), write to be equal to the cell above (so I would insert in B4, "=B3")
    5) Control enter, so it can copy across all blank cells
    6) Copy and past values

    Example sheet attached.

    Thanks very much.

    Rick

    Hi jindon,

    When I do it manually, when I copy and paste, numbers that are in text format keep in text format, but with the macro all text numbers turn into number format.

    There is a way to keep numbers as text, when pasting value?

    Thanks
