    Excel 2003 How can I shift values from adjacent cells over to an adjacent column

    I have 3 columns. First is months listed 2012-01 to 2012-06 (repeated). The 2nd has a number of notes for each month. The 3rd has the number of notes for the new month June. How can I move values from the June column over to the 2nd column so my report is up to date. I attached a sheet below to help see the problem. Thank you very much in advance!

    In column D, how about..

    =IF(A2="2012-06",C2,B2)

    then copy and paste sepcial values in Column B
    Life's a spreadsheet, Excel!

    The values that are already in column B for the other monthsare correct so I dont want to copy and paste over them, I only would want to copy the values in column C that correspond to the month of June. Is there a way I can do this also?

    Paste this formula in Column D:
    =IF(AND(B2="",C2=""),"",IF(B2="",C2,B2))

    I originally thought you could "paste special - values, skip blanks", but excel considered the blank cells in column c to be "0" for some reason.

    I just realized the formula I suggested is not working.
    Paste the formula suggested by Ace in column D.
    then in column B paste the following formula:
    =IF(D2="","",D2)
    This should give you an updated list.

    NOTE: You will need to highlight column D and "paste special - values" first!
