Hi,

Looking for some guidance on how I can split 2 columns and expand it to a 1 to 1 output.

Below is an input of sample data and a desired output

 

My data will also have data that may have spilled to the next row also and need it to be populated data from the cell above it.

I have highlighted these in orange the desired result for those.

 

Any assistance would be appreciated,

thanks in advance,

Ash
