How can I line up 2 columns with similar information?

I have 2 columns with names in each and I'd like to line them up next to each
other.

I think we'll need more information, Kathy. I don't understand what you're
trying to do. Can you give exactly what's up?

Column A has employee number, Column B has the same employee numbers but has
additional employee numbers, and Column C has employee social security
numbers. If column A and B have the same number, line them up and if not put
in a blank cell. Hopefully that makes sense.

Hi Kathy

On another Sheet, Sheet2, copy all of Sheet1 Column B to Sheet2 Column A as
this column contains the most names.
On Sheet2 in cell B1 enter
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:A,1,0)),"",VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:A,1,0))
On Sheet2 in cell C1 enter
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:A,3,0)),"",VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:A,3,0))
Copy down for the maximum number of rows in column A of Sheet2

Once complete, copy the complete range of data and Paste Special>Values over
the top of the 3 columns to "fix" the data. You can then delete Sheet1 once
you are satisfied that all of the data has come across successfully.
