am trying to give the user the option to do simple arithmetic operations on selected cells. The thing is that most cells are merged ranges.

I got the following already but the problem with it is that it loops through all cells while I only want it to only affect those cells that are not merged or only to the first cells of merged ranges.

Sub test()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim cel As Range
Dim selectedRange As Range
myValue = InputBox("Enter")
Set selectedRange = Application.Selection

For Each cel In selectedRange.Cells
On Error Resume Next
cel.Value = Evaluate(cel.Value & myValue)
Next cel
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
If at all possible, I would suggest that you unmerge all the merged cells. They almost always cause problems for Excel macros. Do a little research into "center across selection". Most often this has the same effect as merging cells without actually merging them.
