I really have no clue.

If your two arrays are in column A and B starting on row 1 and with a
blank cell below the data, you may try this formula in cell C1

=IF(ROW()(MATCH("_","_"&A$1:A$100,0)-1)*(MATCH("_","_"&B$1:B$100,0)-1),"",
INDEX(A$1:A$100,(ROW()-1)/(MATCH("_","_"&B$1:B$100,0)-1)+1)&
INDEX(B$1:B$100,MOD(ROW()-1,(MATCH("_","_"&B$1:B$100,0)-1))+1))

Note: This is an array formula that has to be confirmed with
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER rather than just ENTER.

Copy the formula down as far as needed.

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke
