Rearrange data columns

TiffanyH12

I have two data sets joined by a common account number. I want to have the same columns from both sets be shown next to each other but using the select tool to drag and drop 50+ columns is very time consuming. Any suggestions?

 

The columns in both sets have the exact same names.

 

What I want:

Acc. #DataSet1Col1DataSet2Col1DataSet1Col2DataSet2Col2
###    
###    
###    
###    

 

If possible I also want to be able to find the differences between data set 1 and 2 and have a new column insert after. So at the very very end should look like below. I need the differences from each criteria so that's 50+ more which would again be very time consuming to do formulas for each one.

Acc.#DataSet1Col1DataSet2Col1DifferenceDataSet1Col2DataSet2Col2Difference

Prepared something for your.
Please note that you still need to adjust according to your real case.

Thank you! I was able to apply this to my workflow. Is there a way to put the difference column after the first two columns of data instead of in between without having to use manually rearrange all of them?
