Combine two columns
Hi,
Is there a way to combine two columns, but inserting info from column "B" only where "A" is blank. I have column "A1- A300" & column "B1-B300", column A has some rows blank now I would like to enter data from column B into A, where A is blank only. I hope I made myself clear. Please respond Thank you -- smile |

Combine two columns
Select column A, then use edit/go-to-special, select blanks. Then, assuming
the active cell is A4 (just look to see what it is), enter =B4 then press ctrl/enter and just the blanks will pick up b's values. (If the active cell were A12, you'd enter =B12 and ctrl/enter).
