    How do I copy a merged cell into another worksheet with formatting intact.

    Hi All,

    How do I copy a merged cell into another worksheet with formatting intact.

    In our report there is a cell with a lot of comments, sometimes people like to highlight the most important bits. When cell is being copied into another worksheet (with simple ?=? to cell) all the formatting will disappear. I even tried a macro to do this but I am getting an error that says ?can?t do it for the merged cells?.

    Worksheets("Copy").Range("B2").Copy Worksheets("Paste").Range("B2")

    To summarise I would like to copy merged cell B2 from Sheet ?copy? into cell B2 in sheet ?paste? with the same formatting.

    Thank you

    Most of us here would tell you not to use merged cells in the 1st place, they cause nothing but problems with formulas and other stiff
    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

    I appreciate your comment and I completely agree with you, however it will be extremely difficult for me to change the structure of our current report.
    Is there a way, any way (perhaps some sort of macro) that will be able to sort this out ? Or maybe a different way of doing it, something that I am missing.

    I have moved this to the VBA section - do NOT open duplicate threads here (see our rules). If you need a post moving, you should ask a moderator or admin to help.
