Merging two columns, data in one
But when I drag down that way, I just end up with either empty cells or
a fill down of whatever is in A1/B1.
I need to preserve the data that is in B2, B3, so on...
Sorry if I wasn't clear.

By Merge you mean Cell merge A and B
Select cells A1 and B1, Format Cell - Merge
Result A1/B1 merged with value as in B1
Drag down as required.
Works for me.
Only problem is if Column A has data, but you said it was empty

I need to merge the two and preserve the data in B. Obviously, I could
do this one at a time, but I tried to expedite by merging A1 & B1, then
tried filling down by copying the merged A1 and filling down with a
Paste Special --Formats, but this gives me blank, merged cells.
Is that better?
Thanks

So A and B have Data and B has precidence ?
Create a helper column C with c1 =if(b1<"",b1,a1)
Otherwise explain what you meant with the A1 & B1

I have tried merging A1 & B1 and doing a "Paste Special" for the rest
of the column, but it leaves me with a blank, merged cell.
How can I make this into a single column while preserving the data I
already have?
Thanks to all
