Advanced Sorting With Blank Rows In Columns?
Jun 10, 2014
I have been trying to sort an excel spreadsheet to no avail. I have read mutliple posts and searched online but I can not find a solution. This is what I have. I have three columns of data. column A is an account name. column b has some insurance coverage info and may have multiple rows that go with column A. Column C has the effective date of the coverages in column B. I want to sort column A in alphabetical order but when I have tried it does not keep column B and C together with column A.
Column A Column B Column C
company 1 General Liab 5/1/14-15
Workers Comp 2/1/13-14
company 2 workers comp 2/1/13-14
company 3 crime 5/5/14-15
D&O 5/5/14-15
Fee 4/15/14-15

I have a worksheet which shows multiple tests and whether they are completed or not[code]Test 1 Person1 Test 2 Person2 Test 3...Person12. I want to search for a specific test, e.g. pH which could be in any of the "Test" columns but only return it if it is not completed. The "Person" columns will be blank if no one completed the test.
I set up the Advanced Filter criteria with all the appropriately labeled columns and for the Person columns, I put ="" but it is returning all rows which have pH in them whether they are completed or not. What should I be putting in the Person columns of the criteria to only return those rows which have the pH test but it is not completed. I attached an example of the criteria range and the filter window to help clarify (the full spreadsheet is huge)

I have a spreadsheet that I want to keep the blank rows that seperate the data for asthetic reasons. Can I sort just the rows with data in them and still keep the blank rows where they are?

Below is just a part of my very long list of statement that I posted into column A, B and C of excel worksheet:
10
67.12
03-Oct-12

I have a large amount of raw data that I import via a text file into Excel. Here is an example of the data in order for me to illustrate my question.
USD COUPON ENTRY PREVIOUSLY DELAYED
S/N 0243**** dfssdfsdf S 9.37500 07/02/11 USD
REC. 23/07/07 DUE 07/08/07 CPN.AMNT USD 23.437500 Q
NAR. FUNDS RECEIVED
SCA. USD 10860000
-----------------------------------------------------
NET USD 254531.25+ 07/08/07
-----------------------------------------------------
DACE REFERENCE IS *******
On a seperate workbook I have a list of money amounts which I need to find the S/N # for. So if you look above, there is a money amount and a S/N within the raw data. My question is, what can I do to take the money amount from the first workbook and search for that amount in the raw data, then return the S/N number that is within that same area? And do it via a macro or advanced formula so that I can do I many times over?
Keep in mind, even when I delimit the data, it's all in different columns and rows, and never consistently spaced.

I have some data that is 300 rows x 43 columns.
I'd like to sort the 43 colums by using some of the rows. Is this possible using normal excel?
Alternatively is there a simple way to sort the colums in VBA?

I'm trying to sort by City first, then by Report #, but keeping the highlighted rows together. If I use the custom sort it will through my D2's at the bottom and not keep them with their city, report, and D1. How do I get them to stay together? I have attached my document example.

I am trying to do an analysis on 4 spreadsheets, each with approximately 4500 cells.
Each vertical cell represents a patient visit to a hospital. There is a timestamp, then a bunch of other metrics that I will be comparing. I want to sort the 4500 visits by time and date. This is how the timestamp of their arrival shows up:
Jul 02 2012 10:25 AM
^A single cell contains both the date and time next to each other.
I want to first separate all visits by time of day. I want to make one group that checked in between 10a and 10p and another for 10p-10a. Then I want to sort both groups in chronological order by date (i.e. starting with 2011 and ending in May 2013).
For one, I'm thrown off because the time and date are next to each other in the same cell.

I am trying to sort/filter the information by columns but I need the information in each row to stay together for instance...
1 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5 1
3 4 5 1 2
4 5 1 2 3
5 1 2 3 4
I need to sort the numbers in column 3 in ascending order or filter them but i need the entire row to move when sorted so it needs to look like this
4 5 1 2 3
5 1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5 1
3 4 5 1 2
I am using the list function to sort and filter the data in the columns but when i try to sort them in ascending order i get....
1 2 1 4 5
2 3 2 5 1
3 4 3 1 2
4 5 4 2 3
5 1 5 3 4
I don't know how to write formulas or VBA's or anything but am willing to try.
Is it possible to sort the data and get a result like the second set of data? and is there an easy way to make this fool proof so people that use the spreadsheet will not mess up the data?

I have hundreds of rows of data which I need to sort into headings in a new tab.
E.g Column D has about 40 names which occur many times. Column G has 4 digit numbers which are unique.
I want to create in a new tab a column for each of these 40 names, using that name as the heading and then list the 4 digit numbers unders that heading. So if the name name "John" appears 20 times in Column D, it will get a heading in the new sheet and there will be 20 unique numbers listed below it from the data in Column G.

I have a single spreadsheet with a few columns but hundreds of rows. Each row is a property reference (with other data such as address in the columns) with a type of charge in column J and the amount in column K. I'll try to replicate below ...
A B ....... J K
Prop1 Prop1Address Rent 100
Prop2 Prop2Address Rent 150
Prop3 Prop3Address Gas 70
Prop4 Prop4Address Water 60
Prop4 Prop4Address Rent 200
Prop4 Prop4Address Elec 80
Prop5 Prop5Address Service 90
I want the sheet to display a property on a single row so would look like as follows ...
A B ....... Rent Gas Water Elec Service Total
Prop1 Prop1Address 100 100
Prop2 Prop2Address 150 150
Prop3 Prop3Address 70 70
Prop4 Prop4Address 200 60 80 340

I am needing to sort individual rows horizonally (by columns) - sound simply enough, but apparently its not (unless I'm overlooking something really basic). For example, I need to sort each row (2 - 300) beginning in column B and ending in column P individually. I can do this - one at a time - using Excel's sort function, but its time consuming and this is something I need to be able to do on a regular basis.

I realize that the easier resolve to this request is to use Access & we are moving to that application.
I have included a worksheet as an example.
We have a 'work in progress' (WIP) worksheet that contains 12 rows of data per job. Need to know how (or if) you can sort by the "Job #:" value while maintaining the group of information necessary for each individual job.
Not a normal sort because the values aren't entered in typical side-by-side row & column format.

I have created a spreadsheet which is tallying up various data. I have a number of different categories e.g. A, B, C, D and within each one of these are sub categories. I then have a tally for the number of each category and within that the number of each sub category. I then want to sort the data so that first the main category is sorted in order of highest tally to lowest. the sub categories however need to stay with their primary category. I then need to sort each sub category within the main category.
the data looks omething like this:
category tally sub cat number
A 6 A 3
B 4
C 6
B 9 A 1
B 6

I have this in Column A, with about 120 entries:
Company 1
Contact 1
Address 1
City, ST, ZIP 1
Phone 1
Fax 1
Company 2
Contact 2
Address 2
City, ST, ZIP 2
Phone 2
Fax 2
Company 3
Contact 3
Address 3
City, ST, ZIP 3
Phone 3
Fax 3
I want this:
Company 1 Address 1 City, ST, ZIP 1 Phone 1 Fax 1
Company 2 Address 2 City, ST, ZIP 2 Phone 2 Fax 2
Company 3 Address 3 City, ST, ZIP 3 Phone 3 Fax 3
all the way down.
I can't figure out how to record the macro to tell it to then skip the blank line, collect the next set of data, and put it in the next row. I can do it for two, but then it just replaces the first two with the next two and I lose data.

I cannot work out the syntax to run an advanced filter for all Non-Blank Columns! I have attached an example sheet, and you can see my syntax in cell D4. I am looking to bring through a list of all line that are both Status= "NOT QUOTED YET" and Project Name= NOT Blank. Unfortunatley, the Status Row will be set as NOT QUOTED YET when there is no project name enetered, hence the problem.

I am struggling to get Excel Advanced Filter to work on a database, where not every field is populated. The problem I am experiencing is that Excel is treating a blank field as a criteria. When I run the Advanced Filter, any fields in the database that are not populated are filtered out of the results.
To try and illustrate the problem with a simple example: I have a database with two filter criteria: TYPE and CATEGORY. If I filter on type, it returns 100 results [correct]. If I filter on category, it returns 50 results, which is incorrect, as it should be 70. The reason it is returning an incorrect result is because it is treating the unpopulated/blank fields under TYPE as a criteria.
I have set up my criteria table with the below Boolean formulas: if the result of the formula is true (ie if it is blank), it returns "" and if it is false, it returns the selection.
=IF(ISBLANK(type),"",type)
Frustratingly, Excel Advanced Filter still treats the result of this formula as a criteria. So when I run the procedure, with only CATEGORY selected, all blank fields under the TYPE are filtered out of the results. The only way to get the Advanced Filter to produce the correct result is to delete the formula under TYPE from the criteria table - which of course defeats the object!
My intention is to incorporate the Advanced Filter into a VBA procedure, where the user will be able to select criteria under TYPE and CATEGORY from drop down menus.
I can think of only three possible solutions to the problem:
1. Ensure there are no blanks in the database (not really practical as it is not always possible to apply type or category)
2. Tweak the formula so that the Advanced Filter will not treat "" as a criteria
3. Write a VBA procedure, where the selections are written each time to the criteria table when the code is run (hoping to avoid this!)

I have a spreadsheet with columns and columns of data. What I'd like to do is identify which rows have blank/no data in all specified columns (H, K, O, S, U, W, and Y).
To clarify, I need to identify each row where all of these columns are blank (as opposed to each row where at least 1 column is blank).

I am trying to create a macro that sorts rows based on value of 2 columns, but every time that a value changes in either of them to leave an empty row between them. Is that possible? In simple words i want to separate my rows with the empty row while sorting them out alphabetically based on two columns.
Please check my screen shots. Test 1 is my spreadsheet before the macro. Test 2 is how i need it to be after the macro. The two columns that i want it sorted out is First GDS then Rate.

I work with a spreadsheet every week to input values and subtotal them. These values change constantly and instead of going through and manually deleting each row in a 100+ row spreadsheet to be able to import into another program, I'm looking for an quicker way to keep my data in order but consolidate by getting rid of only the rows where both column A and B are blank.
Here's an example of what I'm working with:
5
10
15
20
50
2
4
6
8
20
This is what I need the final product to look like:
5
10
15
20
50
2
4
6
8
20
So I would like to quickly delete rows 2, 5, and 11. All of the other answers I've found only show how to delete rows based on empty cells in only 1 column. How can I quickly delete the rows where both columns are empty?

Im using an advanced filter that uses the following criteria
Days Late Note(s) Note(s)
>90 <>*agreement* <>*QTR*
This shows all data over 90 that do not incl the words agreement or QTR in a column marked Note(s).
My problem is that I do not want to show records that are Null in the Note(s) column.
Note(s)
<> Does not work (possibly because it is text and not Numbers)
as this does work if used on records that contain numbers.

We utilize large data sheets that can be as large as 300K in rows and 10 to 15 columns wide. Because of how we receive the data, we are forced to manipulate things so that all matching data for a record ends up on a single row. (e.g. Record#, Document Type, Husband Name, Wife Name, Wife Maiden Name, Etc.)
Right now here's how the data is received:
a
a
a
b
b
c
c
c
c
d
d
d
e
e
e
e
Using two vba scripts, we first separate the data with row spaces between the unique data as follows:
a
a
a
b
b
c
c
c
c
Then with another script, we transpose the data as follows:
a a a
b b
c c c c
d d d
e e e e
When we transpose the data, the end result starts at the top of the page and go down eliminating the original blank rows. Not a huge issue but I would like to be able to maintain the original data format of the rows so that the data matches the original sheet line for line. The end result would give me the data as follows...
a a a
b b
c c c c
d d d
e e e e e
where the vertical gaps between the letters matches the original rows. Like I said, not a huge issue since we can rejoin the transposed data to the original data fairly easily. But it would be nice if we could end up with the above format for speed sake.
The two scripts we use, one-to insert the rows and two-to transpose, take a very long time to run with the transpose script taking the longest by far. On a 30K row sheet, it will take on our systems around 30 minutes to transpose and about 15 minutes to insert rows. Because we have several columns that need to be transposed, a 30K row sheet will take at least 2 hours to complete. A 300K row sheet, that will take 10 to 15 hours to complete.
Is there any way to speed up the scripts either by upgrading to a faster CPU and or writing the scripts to preform faster?
My preferred solution would be to write (have) a formula to preform the transposition that gives me the results as noted above since formula's run so much faster than vba. Is this possible? I have tried all kinds of formulas and can not come close and of course the straight transpose function does not give me the solution I need as noted above.
I have enclosed an excel 2010 spreadsheet with 10K rows of data in rows along with the scripts I use (nothing sensitive here). The tabs at the bottom shows you the data before I transpose, then the data after it has been transposed . To speed up the scripts, I have stripped away the all the rest of the data from the original sheet except just what I need to transpose at one time. Once that is completed, we then re-join the transposed data with the original sheet. The six digit number you see to the far left of the data is the record ID number from the original data. We use this to rejoin the transposed data with the original data so that we know everything is back where it should be. (Note: The insert rows script is run on the original data and not the data you see on the enclosed spreadsheet. That is the only way we can generate unique rows with matching ID numbers. We arrive at this by taking the original data, concatenate the record ID with the column we want to transpose and add a # between the two so that we can break things back apart after the transposition using the text to column function using the # as the separator.)
The sheet I have attached is in the 2010 Macro Enabled format...(xlsm format). We use the xlsb (binary) format for the data to reduce the file size as our normal procedure and run the macros from inside that format. Changing from the xlsx to xlsb format did seem to speed up the scripts a bit and greatly improved the file performance as a whole e.g. saving and loading.
One thing I have done to speed up the scripts is to strip all the data away that is not needed for the transposition. That did work but only a marginal amount.
We are using windows 8.0 with 4G memory and your basic processor speed...e.g. nothing fancy.....just your basic stock computer. Nothing else unusual is installed or running on the computer or at the time the scripts are running.
For those of you that process large sheets, how much of a performance upgrade will we see in processing our scripts by either upgrading memory to 8G (or more or much more) and or getting a faster processor? Or have we reached the maximum script speed already? Or is this a limit to Excel.
One other issue to note: As I stated above, on the 30K row sheets, not a super problem with about 2 hours needed to run the scripts on all the data on the sheet. But on the 300K row sheets, it can take 12 or more hours to run and there are times when things 'lock up' running the scripts on sheets this size.

I was able to use the macro in the last post by Ochenden but the blank cells need to have a placeholder.
How to change the macro or come up with a different script for me to use?
Attached is how I need the spreadsheet to look.

Sub aaa()
Dim OutSH As Worksheet
Set OutSH = Sheets("Sheet2")
Range("A:A").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, copytorange:=OutSH.Range("A1"), Unique:=xlYes

i have created a spreadsheet to simplify our work flow, I am stuck on what is probably the easiest of the commands.
basically have rows dedicated to specific codes and the colums represent values relating to each code, all codes have a different set of values, the attached example only has a few variables but the actual worksheet will have several hundred.
the idea is the user will input the code they wish to get details on in A2 and then press the command button and it will then show (as per the after sheet in the attachment) just the relevant information for that code, so filter the code in column A and hide the columns which hold no value.
where i am getting stuck is I am not sure the best way to proceed, is it best to create the macro button to do the filter and hide or is there a better way using vlookup and a pop up window asking for the relevantcode to be inputted to to retrive the information, again understand there will be hundreds of colums and hundreds of rows and the values may be 20 or 30 colums apart for some of the Codes so this simplification is really saving the user a lot of time.

I am trying to count the # of rows in a spreadsheet in which there is non-blank text data in 2 separate columns. For instance, if the spreadsheet looked like the one below (dashes just for formatting purposes):
NAMES-------THIS-------------THAT
Mary-------some text--------some more text
John-------<blanks>---------just text here
Sue--------just some here-----<blanks>
Dave-------something--------something else
Adam------<blanks>-----------<blanks>
The total # of rows with something in both the "THIS" and "THAT" columns above would therefore be 2.
