How to merge 2 columns?

Hello,

I am looking for some help from an Excel expert.

I have a table with 2 columns: A and B.
A contains company names, and B contains domain names.

I would like to find a formula to merge these two columns, following these 3 rules:
If there is a value only in column A, then populate the cell in column C with the value of column A.
If there is a value only in column B, then populate the cell in column C with the value of column B.
If there is a value in both column A and column B, then populate the cell in column C with the value of column B.

Do you know a formula to get this outcome?

I have attached a table with example values.

Thank you in advance for your help!

You can use this formula in cell C2:

=IF(B2="",A2,B2)

although you may have to use semicolons ( ; ) rather than commas ( , ) in the formula, depending on your regional settings.

Copy down as required.

Hope this helps.

Pete
