ey guys i have a hudge list of contacts i need to sort through and it is driving me crazy having to seperate each individual box and putting them togehter individually. Can anyone help me how i could combine 2 colums together ? in other words column A has the contact list but in between the contacts there are other information that i dont need so i can delete them, so right now i am grabbing the name,phone number and pushing them over into column B and C. once i move the info into column B and C. As i move my way down doing the rest of the contact i have like 8 rows of blank boxes in between each contact, is there a way i can put them together without having to grabbing each box and putting them together?
any help i would appreaciate cause doing this list of 17,000 lines trying to put into one long line of info is drving me crazy.

Uh... ctrl+c all the info from column C, ctrl+v in to column B, and then delete all then just delete column C completely (since it's just the phone numbers you've already copied in to column B)

Oh read it wrong. Make sure the two columns you want are right next to each other. Select both columns and right click-->format cells-->click the "alignment tap"-->at the bottom check "merge cells"
I think that's the best way to do it.
I guess I don't understand what you want, sorry

did the previous responses answer your question? if not maybe you can type an example of 2 or 3 lines. cuz from i read it sounds like either what the other guys suggested or maybe you need to use the split function (all info in and only in column a?)...can't really tell.

i cant get a diagram on here it just outs everything together and looks like jibberish.
basically lets say i have 1 column. we will call that column A. and i have 5 lines in column A. i have info on line 1 and line 3 and 5. how do i take the info on lines 1,3,5 to go to lines 1,2,3?
