Default Combining 2 lists

Hi,

In column A I have First Name, In Column B I have Surname. There are
over 2000 rows.

I need column C to have Firstname A1 in C1, Surname B1 in C2, so that
I end up with a single list of names, First Name above each Surname.
(This is to paste into something else)

I really don't want to manually key in the cell references. I'm sure
this should be easier than I'm finding it.

Any ideas?

Hi Rich

=INDEX($A$1:$B$100,INT((ROW()+1)/2),MOD(ROW()+1,2)+1)
copy down as far as required.

Thanks Roger,

Thats nearly working, for some reason it's giving me blanks for the
First Name, but the Surname is OK.

Hi Rich
Are you sure you copied it as posted?
It works absolutely fine for me.

=INDEX($A$1:$B$100,INT((ROW()+1)/2),MOD(ROW()+1,2)+1)
