find a specific value in a column and write another column

[Guest]

I have a difficulty about obtaining following:

Existing situation:
column1 column2
row1 A1 PNT1
row2 A4 PNT5
row3 A2 PNT12
row4 A3 PNT8

Converted condition:

A1 A2
PNT1 PNT12
A3 A4
PNT8 PNT5
WHAT SHOULD I DO FOR THAT?

I would probably check into using Mail merge to get it into your desired
layout.

If that is a fixed pattern do this:

Your data in A1:B4
In C1 enter; =A1
in D1 enter: =A2
in C2 enter: =B1
in D2 enter: =B2

select C12
move the mouse cursor to the bottom right corner of D2 where it becomes
a little black cross,
left click the little cross, hold and drag down as required.

That should give you this:

A1 PNT1 A1 A4
A4 PNT5 PNT1 PNT5
A2 PNT12 A2 A3
A3 PNT8 PNT12 PNT8
