Well as I said in my initial post, you need to combine those two columns of
data into one single column and then run the advanced filter on it, sorting
for unique records. It doesn't sound like you did the first step, which is
to combine the two columns into one.
I don't know of a way to automate it. You could write code but that would
take longer than copying and pasting. How hard is it to copy and paste?
Takes all of five seconds.
The only reason I am looking towards having this process automated is because
it is a very complexed workbook that is updated weekly with new item numbers.
That will have to work for now unless you have another solution. Thanks for
you time Dave.
