Dave,

Here is what worked for me. Thank you for your help.

In D1, I used:

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($A1,$B:$C, 1, 0)), "", VLOOKUP($A1,$B:$C, 1, 0))

In E1, I used:

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($A1,$B:$C, 2, 0)), "", VLOOKUP($A1,$B:$C, 2, 0))

I have 2 columns with numbers in them.(they are much bigger than my
examples). All numbers in column B exist in column A but not all numbers in
column A exist in column B. What I need to do is match up B with A. So I need
to find the number 2 in column A and then move the 2 down in column B so it
aligns with the 2 in column A. Is there a quick and easy way to do this? I
have listed my desired result below.


A * * * * * * * * B


1 * * * * * * * * 2
2 * * * * * * * * 4
3 * * * * * * * * 5
4 * * * * * * * * 8
5
6
7
8


Desired result


A * * * * * * * * B


1
2 * * * * * * * * *2
3
4 * * * * * * * * *4
5 * * * * * * * * *5
6
7
8 * * * * * * * * *8
