Error rsp about merged cells being sized ?

B

Bubey

I downloaded my cell phone bill in Excel so I
could sort as I
wanted. When I tried to do a Data/Sort/Col A, I
got the
following info/error from my Excel assistance.

"The operation requires the merged cells to be
identically sized"

What should I be doing to unlock the cells so they
can be
sorted?

Thanks !

CTRL + a(twice in 2003) to select all cells.

Format>Cells>Alignment. Uncheck the "merge cells" option.

I would do this on a copy of the sheet. Don't know what your data will look
like once the cells are "unmerged".
