    Merging 2 columns into 1 sequentially.

    How would you merge 2 columns into 1 sequentially? Column A is DATE and column B is DAY of YEAR. I want to automatically merge the columns into another column with the order A1, B1, A2, B2, A3, B3, etc. I will be working with different kinds of data.

    See attached Excel file.

    Thanks,

    Jim15

    Hello Jim15,

    In added a button to the worksheet to run the macro below. This has already been added to the attached workbook.

    note this is easily done with copy /paste sort and text to columns!

    Hello Martin,

    I want to automatically merge the columns into another column
    I don't think doing it manually meets the requirement.

    Re: Merging 2 columns into 1 sequentially.

    Mr. Ross,

    I actually wanted to merge the columns with any kind of data. The macro does sort sequentially as requested but when I tried with alphabetic characters in both columns it still displayed the result using numbers. Can you modify to handle any kind of data in Columns A and B?

    Thanks,

    Jim15

    Hello Jim15,

    I changed the macro to use what is in the columns. This has been added to the attached workbook.
