Merged Cells and Needing To Sort Information
I have exported the PDF document into an excel spreadsheet, but I am needing to sort the information by column "A", but I am getting the message "To do this, all merged cells need to be the same size...
Merged cells cause all kinds of problems, it is best to avoid them
The relevant headers are in row 3, so select A4:AH452, then click to unhighlight the Merge & Center button, and finally sort on column A.
Thank you Hans Vogelaar, I appreciate your response. This will not delete any of the information I have in the document? It will keep all the information in the correct column/row/cell?
It won't delete anything.
Since merged cells will be unmerged, information that was first displayed centered over - say - columns C and D will now be displayed in column C. But it won't move to a different column.
- Thank you!
