    Combining two data sets into a master list

    Hello, all!

    I have two lists, that look like this:

    Each on a different Sheet. What I want to achieve is something like this, where the contents of one list are just stuck underneath the contents of the second list. I don't care what order they end up in, but I'd like whatever formula I'm using to continue to work even as the original lists are lengthened. I can't mess with the tabs that I'm pulling from, because they're being automatically filled in through a parser from our web surveys. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the parser, they won't play nicely with one another when piping into the same sheet.

    At first, I thought I needed {=(index(Anames!A:B)+INDEX(Bnames!A:B)}, but that wants to add the values together. I also tried {=(index(Anames!A:B)&INDEX(Bnames!A:B)}, but then I get this:

    Does anyone have any ideas for how I can merge these two lists?

    Re: Combining two data sets into a master list

    Please upload a sample of your workbook, not a picture of your data. Pictures are pretty much impossible to edit, and no-one wants to re-type your data for you
    Also, not all members can upload picture files (Company firewalls and stuff)

    Your workbook should show a small desensitized example of the data you are working with and a manual mockup of the expected results.

    (none of those pics came through anyway - at least, not for me)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Regards

    You might want to consider reposting this one in the VBA section.

    In the meantime, a forum administrator, JBeaucaire has a website. One of the examples (VBA) that he provides addresses this same question. Here it is:
