    hi rylo,

    though I am novice, I can see the beauty of your code.
    never used macros. may I ask some hint from you? (e.g., where to put it)

    regards,

    This spreadsheet formula, put in C2 and dragged down is another way.

    =OFFSET($A$2,(ROWS($A$2:A2)-1)*2,0,1,1) & OFFSET($A$2,(ROWS($A$2:B2)-1)*2+1,0,1,1)
    _
    ...How to Cross-post politely...
    ..Wrap code by selecting the code and clicking the # or read this. Thank you.

    When you are in Excel, hold down the alt key and press F8. In the macro name put in something like aaa, then select create. This will open the Visual Basic Editor, and create a module with the start of a code block. Something like

    hi Mike,

    It works nicely. It motivates me to learn the "OFFSET" function.
    Many thanks.
