I have a tricky situation. I have a column A with only headers and column B contains text. Now I would like to get the text from column B to start in column A. If there’s text in column A, B will always be empty.

A            B
Title 1
             Text 1
             Text 2
Title 2
             Text 1
             Text 2

How could I get it so the text in column B is put in column A. Range is set until a complete empty row is found. (A1 to S1 no values in the cells = empty row)
I was thinking about merging cells, but that’s perhaps not neat.

    Like this? This uses merging and also takes into account where A and B are both filled up.

    Sub Sample()
        Dim ws As Worksheet
        Dim LastRow As Long
    
        Set ws = Sheets("Sheet5")
    
        With ws
            LastRow = .Range("B" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    
            For i = 1 To LastRow
                If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(.Range("A" & i & ":" & "B" & i)) = 1 And _
                Len(Trim(.Range("A" & i).Value)) = 0 Then
                    With .Range("A" & i & ":" & "B" & i)
                        .Merge
                    End With
                End If
            Next i
        End With
    End Sub

    If you don’t want merging and A will always remain empty when there is a value in B then we can move the value from Col B into Col A like this

    Sub Sample()
        Dim ws As Worksheet
        Dim LastRow As Long
    
        Set ws = Sheets("Sheet5")
    
        With ws
            LastRow = .Range("B" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    
            For i = 1 To LastRow
                If Len(Trim(.Range("A" & i).Value)) = 0 Then
                    .Range("A" & i).Value = .Range("B" & i).Value
                    .Range("B" & i).ClearContents
                End If
            Next i
        End With
    End Sub
