Unmerging All Cells in Many Workbooks in a Certain Folder Path

Working with data can often become cumbersome, particularly when dealing with reports that require specific formatting adjustments. If you've ever had to deal with merged cells in Excel and wished for a way to quickly unmerge them across multiple workbooks, you're not alone!

This blog will guide you through a straightforward solution with a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro that will help you efficiently unmerge all cells in any Excel workbooks located in a specific folder. Let’s dive in!

The Problem

Have you faced situations where you export reports from an older ERP system into HTML and then convert them to Excel? Often, post-conversion requires you to unmerge cells to manipulate the data effectively. Here’s a common issue:

Incorrect references (like using sh.Cells.MergeCells) can hinder the process.

Don’t fret! Below, we will solve these issues step by step.
