Not sure if my thread title is correct, but this is what i would like to do, and have no idea where to even start.

I have 2 sheets in same workbook (pic below)
I have the following formula in Sheet 1, Column A to create a new list, from Sheet 2, Column A, that puts the blanks cells at bottom as shown.
Excel Formula:
{=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$31,SMALL(IF(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$31<>"",ROW(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$31)-ROW(Sheet2!$A$2)+1),ROWS(Sheet2!$A$2:$A2))),"")}
If a date is entered in Sheet 1 Column B, next to a Name (or Names), I need that Date placed in the proper cell In Sheet 2 Column B.
So, for example, If the user enters a date next to Name9 in Sheet 1, (Cell B4), that date will automatically be placed next to Name9 in Sheet 2, (Cell B10)
Thanks for any and all help

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
What version of Excel are you using?

If 365, I would use XLOOKUP, older versions VLOOKUP

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Thanks. That gets me half way there.
I should have stated that when a date is entered in Sheet 1 Column B, the list in Column A will be reorganized.
Since my original question is only a piece of the overall puzzle, I am going to apply your formula to my project and see where I stand, and if i can figure out what I ultimately need to happen. Most likely I will be coming back here with more questions.

Also, What is the formula in cells B34:B35 doing? It doesn't seem to make any difference whether its there or not.
