I want to try this. First, is my first list A1 down? And then is my second
list B1 down? (and this means a total of 50 records?) ( I actually have
about 1,200 of them.)

Do I load one list in column A1 and then copy and paste in the other list
to the second column? I'm not quite sure of what I need to do.
Thanks.
