Merge adjacent rows of same data with VBA code
Of course you can merge the same data with Merge & Center command, but if there are hundreds of cells need to be merged, this method will be time-consuming. So the following VBA code can help you merge the same data easily.
1. Hold down the ALT + F11 keys, and it opens the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.
2. Click Insert > Module, and paste the following macro in the Modulewindow.
Sub MergeSameCell()
'Updateby20131127
Dim Rng As Range, xCell As Range
Dim xRows As Integer
xTitleId = "KutoolsforExcel"
Set WorkRng = Application.Selection
Set WorkRng = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type:=8)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
xRows = WorkRng.Rows.Count
For Each Rng In WorkRng.Columns
For i = 1 To xRows - 1
For j = i + 1 To xRows
If Rng.Cells(i, 1).Value <> Rng.Cells(j, 1).Value Then
Exit For
End If
Next
WorkRng.Parent.Range(Rng.Cells(i, 1), Rng.Cells(j - 1, 1)).Merge
i = j - 1
Next
Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
3. Then press the F5 key to run this code, a dialog is displayed on the screen for selecting a range to work with. See screenshot:
4. Then click OK, the same data in column A will be merged and centered. See screenshots:

Thanks
eg eg try try
eg eg try try
And chage the code to this:
Next
WorkRng.Parent.Range(Rng.Cells(1, i), Rng.Cells(1, j - 1)).Merge
i = j - 1
It merged the row above to "eg" and "try"

I.E. Simply modify the code to swap any row references for column references
Thanks a lot, it saved me a lot of time of work.
I have a small request. I'm trying to find the way to do the same merge, but when there are empty cells below each value, to merge each cell with all empty cells below.
How can I modify the Macro?
Thank you in advance

Can some one instruct with reverse engineering - demarging cells with populating same value for all.
The makro works, but now when I want to filter on the column A, only the first Information from column B applicable to column A are seen.
Looking at the example given in the makro, if I want to filter on Monday after the merge was done, only Nicol will Display and no info from Lucy and Lily are displayed.
Is there a line I can add to avoid this?
INPUT
NAME PRO1 PRO2 PRO3
A
B
C
output
A PRO1
A PRO2
A PRO3
B PRO1
B PRO2
B PRO3
C PRO1
C PRO2
C PRO3
