Combine columns
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!! -- smash123 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smash123's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29974 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=566536 |

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. Regards, Bondi |

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.
