if I have in column A: list of A, B, C, D, E, F. How can I Align in Column B:
list of A, C, E and G so that A and A will be in same row etc.? Thanks

I put headers in row 1 and ran this:


Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim ColA As Range
Dim ColB As Range
Dim iRow As Long
Dim myCols As Long

Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1")
wks.DisplayPageBreaks = False
With wks
'row 1 has headers!
Set ColA = .Range("a2", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
Set ColB = .Range("b2", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp))

With ColA
.Sort key1:=.Cells(1), order1:=xlAscending, header:=xlNo
End With

'change the mycols to the number of columns that
'are associated with column B

myCols = 1 ' columns B only
With ColB.Resize(, myCols)
.Sort key1:=.Cells(1), order1:=xlAscending, header:=xlNo
End With

iRow = 2
Do
If Application.CountA(.Cells(iRow, "A").Resize(1, 2)) = 0 Then
Exit Do
End If

If .Cells(iRow, "A").Value = .Cells(iRow, "B").Value _
Or Application.CountA(.Cells(iRow, "A").Resize(1, 2)) = 1 Then
'do nothing
Else
If .Cells(iRow, "A").Value .Cells(iRow, "B").Value Then
.Cells(iRow, "A").Insert shift:=xlDown
Else
.Cells(iRow, "B").Resize(1, myCols).Insert shift:=xlDown
End If
End If
iRow = iRow + 1
Loop
End With

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Thanks Dave, I used to practice some simple VBA in my worksheets.
I better scrutinize your program line by line to understand the purposes.
Can that program be used for 2 tables with hundreds of lines as in a bank
reconciliation process?

Depends on what you mean by tables.
