Default Combine columns

If there is ALWAYS a blank cell in Column A where the corresponding B is
non-blank, then in a "helper" column:

=IF(A1<"",A1,B1) and copy down

If A1 is present, then put A1 in cell, otherwise put B1

If this is correct, then for the "helper" column, you can copy and paste
special values and then delete A & B if required.

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)


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