Default Merge pages of data

Hi Roger,
My data is arrayed with the date headings in a row at the top of the table
and the data in columns below the date headings and also indexed to
references in theleft most columns. I can copy and paste the data from page
two alongside the data on page one and do a horizontal sort to give me the
intended results but I am looking for a lookup based solution because we have
to juggle the dates a lot to get the desired results and the cut/paste and
resort is too much work and unfortunately prone to error for our scheduling
personel.
Rgds,

Hi

Can you not just copy page 2 and paste under a copy of page 1, then do a
sort on the combined date using the date column?

I have two pages with tables of data with column headings of dates I need to
merge the data from these two pages into a third page in the chronological
order of the date headings and carry along the columns of data below the date
headings. It would be a simple thing to just copy and paste but there is a
lot of back and forth date adjusting necessary so I need to have this third
page update live when I make changes to the dates on the first two pages. I
suppose I can use an HLOOKUP to carry the columns of data under the date
headings but my problem is finding a way to merge and order the date headings
off the two pages. Anyone have an idea how to do this?
Thanks
