Hi,

Is there a way to automatically sort 2 database's by date and add space in between dates that are different?

In office 1 there is no date 11/05/23 and 11/16/23, so it will add a row to accommodate the date from office 2.
Same with office 2, since there is only 11/08/23, it will add a row so 11/10/23 in office 1 and 2 will be in one row.

Thank you

It was a little more complicated than expected. Or at least I didn't find any simpler solution. Here it is:
Both are tables named Office1 and Office2:

Thank you for taking interest in my problem.

I'm having troubles with the code.
It wants me to change Office1[Date], Office2[Date], Office1[#Headers] and Office2[#Headers].
What cell ranges do I select?


=LET(O1Dates,Office1[Date],O1DatesUnicos,HSTACK(UNIQUE(O1Dates),BYROW(UNIQUE(O1Dates), LAMBDA(x, SUM((x=O1Dates)*1)))),Frequency1, CHOOSECOLS(O1DatesUnicos,2),Index1,REDUCE(,Frequency1,LAMBDA(x,y,VSTACK(x,SEQUENCE(y)))),DatePIndex1, O1Dates+Index1/10000,O2Dates,Office2[Date],O2DatesUnicos,HSTACK(UNIQUE(O2Dates),BYROW(UNIQUE(O2Dates), LAMBDA(x, SUM((x=O2Dates)*1)))),Frequency2, CHOOSECOLS(O2DatesUnicos,2),Index2,REDUCE(,Frequency2,LAMBDA(x,y,VSTACK(x,SEQUENCE(y)))),DatePIndex2,O2Dates+Index2/10000,AllDatesIndex,SORT(UNIQUE(VSTACK(DatePIndex1,DatePIndex2))),Of1WIndex,HSTACK(DatePIndex1,Office1),Of2WIndex,HSTACK(DatePIndex2,Office2),Of1Result, HSTACK(MAP(AllDatesIndex,LAMBDA(x,INDEX(Office1,MATCH(x,DatePIndex1,0),1))),MAP(AllDatesIndex,LAMBDA(x,INDEX(Office1,MATCH(x,DatePIndex1,0),2))),MAP(AllDatesIndex,LAMBDA(x,INDEX(Office1,MATCH(x,DatePIndex1,0),3))),MAP(AllDatesIndex,LAMBDA(x,INDEX(Office1,MATCH(x,DatePIndex1,0),4))),MAP(AllDatesIndex,LAMBDA(x,INDEX(Office1,MATCH(x,DatePIndex1,0),5)))),Of2Result, HSTACK(MAP(AllDatesIndex,LAMBDA(x,INDEX(Office2,MATCH(x,DatePIndex2,0),1))),MAP(AllDatesIndex,LAMBDA(x,INDEX(Office2,MATCH(x,DatePIndex2,0),2))),MAP(AllDatesIndex,LAMBDA(x,INDEX(Office2,MATCH(x,DatePIndex2,0),3))),MAP(AllDatesIndex,LAMBDA(x,INDEX(Office2,MATCH(x,DatePIndex2,0),4))),MAP(AllDatesIndex,LAMBDA(x,INDEX(Office2,MATCH(x,DatePIndex2,0),5)))),VSTACK(HSTACK(Office1[#Headers],Office2[#Headers]),IFERROR(HSTACK(Of1Result,Of2Result),"")))

In case a VBA solution is acceptable - and you want the changes to happen in situ - please try the following on a copy of your workbook:
VBA Code: 
Option Explicit
Sub bobbie()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim ws As Worksheet, i As Long
    Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1")  '<-- *** change to actual sheet name ***
    With ws
        .Range("A2:E" & ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row) _
        .Sort Key1:=ws.Range("A2"), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes
        .Range("G2:K" & ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "K").End(xlUp).Row) _
        .Sort Key1:=ws.Range("G2"), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes
        For i = 3 To .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row * 2
            If .Cells(i, 1) <> "" And .Cells(i, 7) <> "" And .Cells(i, 1) < .Cells(i, 7) Then
                .Cells(i, 7).Resize(1, 5).Insert shift:=xlDown
            ElseIf .Cells(i, 1) <> "" And .Cells(i, 7) <> "" And .Cells(i, 1) > .Cells(i, 7) Then
                .Cells(i, 1).Resize(1, 5).Insert shift:=xlDown
            End If
        Next i
    End With
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I'm having troubles with the code.
It wants me to change Office1[Date], Office2[Date], Office1[#Headers] and Office2[#Headers].
What cell ranges do I select?
Click to expand...

Office1[Date] is B4:B13
Office2[Date] is I4:I13
Office1[#Headers] is B3:F3
Office2[#Headers] is I3:M3

In post #3 I posted the formula without tables.

Cross-posting (posting the same question in more than one forum) is not against our rules, but the method of doing so is covered by #13 of the Forum Rules.

Be sure to follow & read the link at the end of the rule too!

Cross posted at: Sort 2 data's by date but skipping rows depending on the other data's date
There is no need to repeat the link(s) provided above but if you have posted the question at other places, please provide links to those as well.

If you do cross-post in the future and also provide links, then there shouldn’t be a problem.
