can autofill be used on merged cells?

[Guest]

I would like to use the autofill function on a group of cells I've merged
together. It doesn't seem to be working. Is it possible for this to even
happen? I know if I unmerge my cells, I can use the autofill on a single
cell. But I would like to do this within a box I've merged together.


Thanks,

Debbie

NO.

Merging 9 cells into one just creates one single cell that looks larger than the
regular cells, but has the same properties as a regular cell.

My advice about merged cells.........

Merged cells are the spawn of Satan!

They cause more problems with Excel than any other feature I can think of.

Copying, cutting, pasting, sorting, filtering are all adversely
affected by merged cells.
