Hello everyone, I have an excel problem please help me if you can.

I have 'Apple' in A1 and 'Orange' in B2

Looks like this in excel:

Apple(A1)
Orange(B2)

I need to move B2 'Orange' to column A at the same row which is A2
while not remove 'Apple'. A2 is empty space. Here is the result I
need:

Apple(A1)
Orange(A2)


I'm facing about 5000 row of this kind of data. Please let me know any
shortcut way to do this. Thank you very much!!

Hi,

One way would be to use the Paste Special option.
If you make a backup of your sheet first. If you have no other data in
column A and B then highlight column B and goto Edit - Copy. Now
Highlight column A and go to Edit - Paste Special and tjeck mark the
Skip Blanks Option and clik OK.
