Yes, it is VBA code.

If not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for more on
"getting started".

http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm

In the meantime..........

First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + R to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.

You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo

Gord, your reply looks like computer programming to me! If it is how do I go

I want to combine the data in 2 columns each of 2000 rows in to 1 column of
4000 rows. I want the data to end up in the order A1, B1, A2, B2 and so on.
Any help would be great!
