Handling merged cell in Excel VBA

Merged cell is very common while we need to summarize some columns or rows in Excel. In order to automatically format the table, handling merged cell with VBA is necessary.
Let's see some examples!

Create a merged cell

ActiveSheet.Range("B2:C4").Merge

Check if a range is merged cell


Debug.Print ActiveSheet.Range("B2").MergeCells
'True

Debug.Print ActiveSheet.Range("C3").MergeCells
'True

Debug.Print ActiveSheet.Range("B4").MergeCells
'True

Debug.Print ActiveSheet.Range("D2").MergeCells
'False

Get address/column/row of merged cell

Dim objRangeToMerge As Range
Set objRangeToMerge = ActiveSheet.Range("B2:C4")

objRangeToMerge.Merge

Dim objMergedCell As Range
Set objMergedCell = objRangeToMerge.Cells(1)

Debug.Print objMergedCell.Address
'$B$2

Debug.Print objMergedCell.Column
'2

Debug.Print objMergedCell.Row
'2

Get merged columns/rows

If ActiveSheet.Range("B2").MergeCells Then
 Dim objMergedCell As Range
 Set objMergedCell = ActiveSheet.Range("B2").MergeArea
 
 Debug.Print objMergedCell.Columns.Count
 '2
 
 Debug.Print objMergedCell.Rows.Count
 '3
End If
