    Combine 2 Date + Time Columns?

    This might be a piece of cake for some but it has me stumped.

    I want to combine 'like shuffling a deck of cards' two date + time columns that overlap. The second column of dates+time of day must be placed into the first date+time column where it fits in chronological order. Example sheet attached which is very short compared to the many thousands of rows in the real world sheet. There is a corresponding data value associated with each date+time. The date+times are not necessarily in any consecutive order.

    I wish to do this with formulas and not VBA if possible. Any ideas please.

    What I meant by not in consecutive order was;

    the dates are ascending but not with any even amount of time spacing between any consecutive two dates.

    Simplest way with no macros:

    1) Copy the data from columns E and F as a WHOLE to columns B and C at the bottom of the existing list.
    2) Highlight all the data in both columns B and C to keep it together, and click the A/Z icon to sort ascending.

    Done.
