The only way to do this is with VBA Something like this should work

Sub trythis()
Dim lastcell As Long
Dim i As Long
lastcell = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To lastcell
'combine Column A and B
Range("A" & i).Value = Range("A" & i).Value & "," & _
Range("A" & i).Offset(0, 1).Value
'clear column B value
Range("A" & i).Offset(0, 1).Value = ""
Next
End Sub

try this idea

Sub combinecolumns()
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "i").End(xlUp).Row
For Each c In Range("i2:i" & lr)
c.Value = c & ", " & c.Offset(, 1)
Next c
Range("j2:j" & lr).ClearContents
'or columns("J").delete
End Sub
