If one feels happy and sad as a direct result of one particular situation, it's a bittersweet feeling.
If one goes between happy and sad and isn't really certain which is the real feeling it's ambivalence (to be ambivalent about something), although the second definition of "ambivalent" is technically the same as bittersweet.
"Melancholy," by definition, is actually gloominess. It doesn't signify the presence of both feelings.

I was looking for the same answer and found that no words in the English language really do justice to the emotion I was feeling so I created a new word: Melly

And if a situation leaves you feeling happy and sad at the same time, it's bittersweet.
