So, I am trying to write some simple code to select a specific set of cells to center & merge them. It is quite a large set of cells. When I input the cells in my code, I get an error 400 message. I have narrowed the issue down to everything after the the J column set of the cells selected. But I can't figure out why it won't allow me to select the whole set that I need.

My range of cells is :

B23:B24,B25:B26,B27:B28,B29:B30,B33:B34,B35:B36,B37:B38,E8:E9,E10:E11,E23:E26,E27:E28,E29:E30,E31:E32,E33:E34,E35:E36,H24:H25,H26:H27,H28:H29,H30:H31,H32:H33,H34:H35,H36:H37,I24:I25,I26:I27,I28:I29,I30:I31,I32:I33,I34:I35,I36:I37,J24:J25,J26:J27,J28:J29,J30:J31,J32:J33,J34:J35,J36:J37,K24:K25,K26:K27,K28:K29,K30:K31,K32:K33,K34:K35,K36:K37,L24:L25,L26:L27,L28:L29,L30:L31,L32:L33,L34:L35,L36:L37,M24:M25,M26:M27,M28:M29,M30:M31,M32:M33,M34:M35,M36:M37,N24:N25,N26:N27,N28:N29,N30:N31,N32:N33,N34:N35,N36:N37,O40:O41

My simple code so far is this:

Code: 
Sub Merge()


    Range("B23:B24,B25:B26,B27:B28,B29:B30,B33:B34,B35:B36,B37:B38,E8:E9,E10:E11,E23:E26,E27:E28,E29:E30,E31:E32,E33:E34,E35:E36,H24:H25,H26:H27,H28:H29,H30:H31,H32:H33,H34:H35,H36:H37,I24:I25,I26:I27,I28:I29,I30:I31,I32:I33,I34:I35,I36:I37,J24:J25,J26:J27,J28:J29,J30:J31,J32:J33,J34:J35,J36:J37,K24:K25,K26:K27,K28:K29,K30:K31,K32:K33,K34:K35,K36:K37,L24:L25,L26:L27,L28:L29,L30:L31,L32:L33,L34:L35,L36:L37,M24:M25,M26:M27,M28:M29,M30:M31,M32:M33,M34:M35,M36:M37,N24:N25,N26:N27,N28:N29,N30:N31,N32:N33,N34:N35,N36:N37,O40:O41
").Select
    With Selection
        .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
        .VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
        .WrapText = False
        .Orientation = 0
        .AddIndent = False
        .IndentLevel = 0
        .ShrinkToFit = False
        .ReadingOrder = xlContext
        .MergeCells = False
    End With
    Selection.Merge


End Sub

I have tested each selection, painstakingly going through each letter group, adding onto the previous letter groups. It all works as expected until I get to J30:J31. It then breaks there and nothing else after that will work. The only data I have in the first cell of each pair is the word: Testing. The exception being E23:E26, where E23 has the word but I am merging and centering E23:E26, so not just two cells.

Any pointers, thoughts, ideas?

I thought about using Union but wanted to figure this out first to help direct me to where I should be heading.

Thanks!

P.S. I also tried to select each cell and give them a named range, for ease of use, but for some reason, even though the range includes all the cells, the end result stops at the H set of cells. Weird!

If you can't use Union, just do it in 2 stages. Still better to avoid merged cells though - why are you using them?

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.

Click to expand...

So I tried union, and it didn't really go as well as I had hoped. I am using merged cells due to a template I am using. The cells need to be merged for presentation once all is said and done ... gotta make it look pretty ..... lol

So, using the macro recorder, this is what I came up with:

I started in cell A2, then started the recoreder, selected the already merged cells individually clicking each merged group (i.e. B23:B24) while holding ctrl, unmerged them, and stopped the recorder. WARNING! It is VERY long.

I am thinking I can manipulate and change things in there to get the outcome I want. I need to make it somewhat cleaner and easier to follow.

Here is what I recorded to merge the cells. All cells were unmerged to start. I stated in cell A2, then started recording.

Code: 
Sub Merge_Test()
'
' Merge_Test Macro
'


'
    Union(Range( _
        "J30:J31,J32:J33,J34:J35,J36:J37,K24:K25,K26:K27,K28:K29,K30:K31,K32:K33,K34:K35,K36:K37,L24:L25,L26:L27,L28:L29,L30:L31,L32:L33,L34:L35,L36:L37,M24:M25,M26:M27,M28:M29,M30:M31,M32:M33,M34:M35,M36:M37,N24:N25,N26:N27,N28:N29,N30:N31,N32:N33,N34:N35,N36:N37" _
        ), Range( _
        "O40:O41,E8:E9,E10:E11,B23:B24,B25:B26,B27:B28,B29:B30,B33:B34,B35:B36,B37:B38,E23:E26,E27:E28,E29:E30,E31:E32,E33:E34,E35:E36,H24:H25,H26:H27,H28:H29,H30:H31,H32:H33,H34:H35,H36:H37,I24:I25,I26:I27,I28:I29,I30:I31,I32:I33,I34:I35,I36:I37,J24:J25,J26:J27" _
        ), Range("J28:J29")).Select
    Range("O40").Activate
    With Selection
        .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
        .VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
        .WrapText = False
        .Orientation = 0
        .AddIndent = False
        .IndentLevel = 0
        .ShrinkToFit = False
        .ReadingOrder = xlContext
        .MergeCells = False
    End With
    Selection.Merge
End Sub

Got to figure out how to get this to be a little cleaner and easier to follow.

This will unmerge all cells in the active sheet & then merge the ones you want. Although IMO using merged cells for "cosmetic" purposes causes more problems than they're worth.
Code: 
Sub Merge()
    Dim Ary As Variant
    Dim Rng As Range
    Dim a As Variant
    
    Cells.UnMerge
    Ary = Array("B23:B24", "B25:B26", "B27:B28", "B29:B30", "B33:B34", "B35:B36", "B37:B38", "E8:E9", "E10:E11", "E23:E26", "E27:E28", "E29:E30", "E31:E32", "E33:E34", "E35:E36", "H24:H25", "H26:H27", "H28:H29", "H30:H31", "H32:H33", "H34:H35", "H36:H37", "I24:I25", "I26:I27", "I28:I29", "I30:I31", "I32:I33", "I34:I35", "I36:I37", "J24:J25", "J26:J27", "J28:J29", "J30:J31", "J32:J33", "J34:J35", "J36:J37", "K24:K25", "K26:K27", "K28:K29", "K30:K31", "K32:K33", "K34:K35", "K36:K37", "L24:L25", "L26:L27", "L28:L29", "L30:L31", "L32:L33", "L34:L35", "L36:L37", "M24:M25", "M26:M27", "M28:M29", "M30:M31", "M32:M33", "M34:M35", "M36:M37", "N24:N25", "N26:N27", "N28:N29", "N30:N31", "N32:N33", "N34:N35", "N36:N37", "O40:O41")
    For Each a In Ary
        Range(a).Merge
    Next a

End Sub

Flawless! Thank you sir for your assistance. I changed a few things, ever so slightly, to fit my scenario, but that is exactly what I was striving for. I have noticed that the use of arrays, when correctly sued, seems to simplify things and remove a lot of the work when compared to not using an array. This was a perfect example.

Thank you again, I appreciate you help.

P.S. I do have to ask though, why are we creating a Dim Rng as Range, when it wasn't used (that I can tell) in any of the code, did I miss something? Just want to understand things a bit better. :D

Glad we could help & thanks for the feedback.

The dim Rng was left over from testing if Union would work & I simply forgot to remove it.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!
