Dear Excel Forum users/Experts,
I have a problem, which I have spent many hours trying to resolve. Not being particularly MS Excel 'savvy', I'm getting nowhere fast! I'm therefore attempting to swallow my pride and ask for help!
I have two columns (A and B) each contain thousands of rows of figures. Sample extract shown below:-
Column A Column B
49270000 49289999
49350000 49409999
49450000 49499999
49690000 49809999
49840000 49859999
50260000 50299999
50350000 50649999
How do I get MS Excel to work out the variation between the numbers on each row (placing the results in another column), but to the minumum number of digits to satisfy all numbers within the 'range'?
Using the first row of figures as an example:
Column A Column B Column C
49270000 49289999 4927, 4928
The two numbers in Columns C represent the complete range of numbers between the two. For the second row the results would be:-
Column A Column B Column C
49350000 49409999 4935,4936,4937,4938,4939,4940
Hope this makes sense.
Instead of the results showing as csv in a single cell on the same row, I would prefer them to appear in a list in Column C (one under the other), with the results of the next rows calculation being appended to the list (and so on for all the entries in Columns A & B).
I've attached a sample of the spreadsheet to allow you to see what I'm up against.
Thanks
Michael
