If a certain number can only be present in at most one of the columns, you may try the following formula in cell C1: =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(SMALL($A$1:$B$100,ROW()),A$1:A$1 00,0)),"",SMALL($A$1:$B$100,ROW())) Change the 100 in all places to fit the maximum size of your data in columns A and B. Copy this formula to cell D1 and then fill cells C1:D1 down as far as needed. If a certain number can be present in both columns, you have to specify what the input should look like. Should the number be on one or columns in the output? If two columns, in which column should the number be listed first. Hope this helps / Lars-Åke |

That worked for 1,2 and 3.
there's 2 tables, same columns. how would i use that to sort the tables of two columns? does that make sense?

With the input according to your example, i.e.
1 in cell A1 4 in cell B1 5 in cell A2 6 in cell B2 3 in cell A3 2 in cell B3 and the proposed formula, that is =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(SMALL($A$1:$B$100,ROW()),A$1:A$1 00,0)),"",SMALL($A$1:$B$100,ROW())) in cells C1 to C6 and =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(SMALL($A$1:$B$100,ROW()),B$1:B$1 00,0)),"",SMALL($A$1:$B$100,ROW())) in cells D1 to D6 what output do you get in these cells C1: ??? D1: ??? C2: ??? D2: ??? C3: ??? D3: ??? C4: ??? D4: ??? C5: ??? D5: ??? C6: ??? D6: ???
