I want to merge cells in one row (belongs to Column B) with the count of already merged different cell(belongs to Column A) .How can i start coding ?

Simple VBA code for Merging Cell
Sub merg_exp_1()
ActiveSheet.Range("A1:C10").Merge
End Sub
Sample data before and after running the program is shown.
Now let us see, If we merge a row what happens. Sample code for this exercise though general is being tested for one situation only and it as follow :
Sub Merge_Rows()
Dim rng As Range
Dim rrow As Range
Dim rCL As Range
Dim out As String
Dim dlmt As String
dlmt = ","
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:C5")
For Each rrow In rng.Rows
out = ""
For Each rCL In rrow.Cells
If rCL.Value <> "" Then
out = out & rCL.Value & dlmt
End If
Next rCL
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
rrow.Merge
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
If Len(rrow.Cells(1).Value) > 0 Then
rrow.Cells(1).Value = Left(out, Len(out) - 1)
End If
Next rrow
End Sub
Sample data before and after running the program is shown. You can see this won't meet your objective.
Next we can try merging by column approach. Here also we are trying for one column i.e. Column B to see the effect. Sample code as follows.
Sub Merge_col_exp()
Dim cnum As Integer
Dim rng As Range
Dim str As String
For i = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
cnum = Cells(i, 1).MergeArea.Count
Set rng = Range(Cells(i, 2), Cells(i - cnum + 1, 2)) ' only to demonstrate working in 2nd column
For Each cl In rng
If Not IsEmpty(cl) Then str = str + "," + cl
Next
If str <> "" Then str = Right(str, Len(str) - 1)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
rng.Merge
rng = str
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
str = ""
i = i - cnum + 1
Next i
End Sub
Sample data before and after running the program is shown. You can see this is closer to your requirement. You can extend functionality of this program by finding Last Column in the Actively used range. Extend program functionality to cover upto last column.
