Trying to rearrange the data to DataFormatedProperly sheet.
So far all I can accomplish is DataFormatedWrong sheet.
Edit: Not sure what happened but file was NOT understandable before. It should be correct now.
I want to sort columns A,C:P and use column C as the column that I sort and the other rows will move with column C. I want column B to stay and not move with the sort. How can I do this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo, I have two columns on a sheet that all contain drop down boxes for various information. We'll refer to them as column 1 and column 2.
In column 3, I want to have the highest instances of those words sorted with the highest on top, and downward from there, along with the number of times it appears in either column 1 or 2. (And I want the sorting to be dynamic, i.e. when I change what's in column 1 or 2, it will re-rank them according to highest number)
i.e.
Column1 Column2 Column3 (Column4-#)
Bob Tom Bob 5
Joe Bob Tom 2
Bob Joe 1
Tom Bob
Bob
I have the drop downs and what not for the 1st 2 columns, I just need to know how to make 3 & 4 happen.
I want to rearrange(sort asscending) columns based on numerical value in column header string through VBA macro. Please check attachment.
i.e. (Present Data)
# A B C D
1 col.1 col.4 col.3 col.2
(Output Data )
# A B C D
1 col.1 col.2 col.3 col.4

I'm trying to copy over some data from 1 sheet to another..... I have filled in some data in the range A5:AG11 on my source sheet, and i intend to copy over the lot (although actually, only row 5 may be populated), and paste into another sheet.
I have 2 problems: firstly, the columns in my 2nd sheet dont match up exactly with the format of my source sheet, so i need to copy & paste the data in 2 parts... column A into column A of my destination sheet, and columns B:AG into columns D:AI of my destination sheet.
Secondly, as i'm pasting all 6 rows, regardless of if they are blank or not, excel seems to paste in virtual blank cells, with no data or spaces in any trailing row.... so, for eg:
Sheets("Overview").Range("A65500").Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Do While Not IsEmpty(Selection)
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
Now selects a blank cell about 5 cells down from the first 'proper' blank cell.
how to vanish these virtual spaces it's putting in?
Is it possible in VBA to instance a range without assigning it to a location in a worksheet? I want to use functions like mmult to manipulate "matrices". I don't think that mmult can handle arrays, so I wanted to use ranges. However, I am running lots of iterations, so I would prefer to keep the calculations in memory only.

I have been working on a spreadsheet to manage my players in a virtual sports game. I have worked out that the optimum skill scores for all the positions and want a way to compare a player to the optimum.
For example:
1st2nd3rd4th5th6th7th
Position 147.1737.6742.0533.8313.6711.3317.33
These are the averages for Position 1
How do I find the player who closest matches this optimum. Players have scores in the same 7 skill areas.
I am trying to sort a long range of text that is placed horizontally in a spreadsheet. I can do it vertically with the sort function in Excel but it does not seem to work for text that is placed horizontally. Example is as below:
Inventory Accounts Human Resources
I found this code on Ozgrid to sort all columns of a worksheet that were continuous with no gaps or spaces that works well:
Sub CopyToA()
Do While ActiveCell <> ""
Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.End(xlDown)).Cut Destination:=Range("a65535").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Loop
End Sub
However, I've tried to manipulate the code myself to 1) find all columns that aren't empty then 2) sort each column individually (WITHOUT expanding the sort to other columns) and 3) combining all the numbers into one seperate column. There are many posts concerning sorting but not one that addressed this particular situation.
Have a spreadsheet with 15 columns. In one of the columns is the name of the company and that column is not in alphabetical order. The city, state, zip code, business type and all the other pertinent data about that company is in the same row as the name of the company. My intent would be to put the company names in alphabetical order and keep all the company information in the same row as the company name.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two columns one is web addresses and the other is email addresses but the rows do not line up. I was hoping that since the second half of the email address matches the web address I could somehow sort them so that the email address column and web address column match up. Here is an example but keep in mind that this list is about 9k long and this is just a sampling so you may not see any in this example that match. Also I may have more than one email address per website.

I need to move part columns of data from 6 columns to form 1 large column in column A.
For example, move range B8 to B76 beneath range A8 to A76 and range C8 to C76 beneath that etc, page by page working through all 270 pages !
Also need to delete unnecessary 'page headers' throughout as in rows 2-6
I would like to sort columns B and C (keeping the two lined up together) so that A and B match up numerically.

I have dates values in 3 columns.
A1 - Header - "Holidays in XXXX'
B1 - Header - "Holidays in YYYY'
C1 - Header - "Leaves by YOU"
A2:B11 have static dates consisting of 10 dates in each column.
C2:C11 - the user may enter any date at any point of time.
I would like to auto-merge the dates in all the 3 columns (A2:C11) in a single column say D2:D31 and then the system should auto-sort the column based on dates in any one order. So as soon as the user enters a value in say cell C2, all the 10+10+1 dates should get sorted.
Also the constraint here is a user may not apply all 10 leaves at in a year. So many of the cells may have blank values.
I am using a formula but when it sorts with the data in the adjacent cells it does not update the reference cells properly.
For example here is the =SUMPRODUCT(($F$12:$WWX$12>=C1)*1,($F$12:$WWX$12<=E1)*1,ABS($F$13:$ZZ$13))
This code is located on row 13, when I do a sort function with all the data, this code is then moved to row 30, that is fine but the code changes in the following way:
=SUMPRODUCT(($F$12:$WWX$12>=C18)*1,($F$12:$WWX$12<=E18)*1,ABS($F$13:$ZZ$13))
C1 & E1 should not have changed at all, F13 & ZZ13 should have changed to F30 & ZZ30.
I am not sure if there is a way to fix the formula so it updates correctly, or these cells can stay in the same place as long as everything else sorts.
Is is possible to sort all columns except a few?
I am trying to get columns A:E on Sheet1 converted into columns A:H on Sheet2. I attached the workbook with the macro so you can see what I am talking about. I posted the same macro in the workbook below. It comes close to what I am trying to do but it only sorts based on Column E. I would like to include Columns A, B, C, and D in the sort instead of just Column E so the display will look like Sheet2.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having a bit of trouble creating a macro that will sort columns in order - I've created a form that allows people to select a broad category ie) Schools, then a sub category ie) Primary or Secondary, and type in a third ie) Projects or Teachers
I'm trying to write a macro so that once they enter the form, their choices will be automatically sorted alphabetically, first by column A, then B, then C - to look like:
Schools - Primary - Projects - A
Schools - Primary - Projects - B
Schools - Primary - Projects - C
Schools - Primary - Teachers - B
Schools - Secondary - Projects - C
Schools - Secondary - Teachers - A
Schools - Secondary - Teachers - B
Schools - Secondary - Teachers - C
However I'm having the issue where if column B or C are left blank - the columns are not sorted properly, and the categories in column A get separated out..?
My code at the moment looks like:
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Range("A1").Sort Key1:=Range("A2:A3"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:= _

this sorts range from A to G and set color to each second row how can I include S column in this range
I mean that cells in column S are moved with cells from columns A to G.
I have column A which contains a range of part numbers, and column B is an On Hand quantity of that part number.
Column C is just like column A, in that it contains the same part numbers but it has about 1,000 additional part numbers that are obsolete. Column D has the On Hand quantity for Column C.
Column A and B are old information as far as the On Hand quantities, where Column C and D are up to date On Hand. The problem is the old outdated part numbers in column C.
How do I make column A and column C match, but not lose their respective On Hand quantities? I know this sounds discombobulated, but basically I need column A's part numbers, with column D's on hand quantity.
I have some table with 3 columns: Name, Team, Players with the same name
I want to get to a 2 columns table without using "SORT" or something like that... using only formulas.
Maybe I wasn't so clear so I added a file with my problem.
I have 3 columns; A:Name, B:Debit & C:Credit. There are multiple row (approx 15,000) where I have a customer name and then a debit at one date, and a credit at another date. There is a debit to match every credit.
I would like to some how sort the sheet so that I can make sure each credit matched the debit. That way I can find what debit's don't match the credits. This is an example of how this looks. http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/n...kejoe/sort.jpg. I would like to sort it like the example on the far right (see attached picture)
Column A has customer name, columns B,C,D has corresponding sales data for
that month. Column E is blank. Column F has has customer name. Column
G,H,I has the same corresponding sales data for the next month.
Although Column A and F both have customer names, there are many changes
month over month with the addition and deletion of certain customers so the
rows do not match up exactly. Is there a quick way to have the rows match up
according to customer names in column A and F and then sort them
alpabetically?
Currently my list looks like this:
Jan Feb
A A
B C
D D
F E
H F
L G
M H
I would like it to look like this:
Jan Feb
A A
B
C
D D
E
F F
G
H H
L
M
I have a list of domains (about 200,000) that looks like this:
I have a list of urls (about 1 million) that looks like this:
I want my results to only show this (since this is the only thing in the second file that does not contain anything from the first file):
I have tried programs designed to do this but they either (a) shorten everything down to the domain or (b) wont remove anything since the domains are part of a longer url in the second file.
I feel like this should be somewhat simple, but none of the normal methods I know seem to work. I want to set up a formula (not a basic sort, since I want it to automatically correct every time I change information) so that for each row, several columns re-sort by date.
For instance, I have the following table:
Item Type Dates
A DV 5/2/14 6/12/14 7/11/15
B DS 3/11/13 6/19/14 1/2/15
C LG 11/12/14 8/1/15 1/12/16
...
where each of the dates is in a new column, but the "Dates" title is merged between the cells
I want to be able to resort just the date columns(/cells) for each row if a new date is written. I want the dates to be in ascending order. For instance, if I go back into the worksheet and replace Item A's date 5/2/14 with 1/1/16, I want the date columns JUST FOR Item A to reshuffle/resort to be:
A DV 6/12/14 7/11/15 1/1/16
without it resorting any other rows (Items) columns.
I am trying to write a Macro to basically do a lot of redundant formatting for me and I am stuck on one part of this code. Everything else works just dandy, but I am having the darndest time getting this Macro to sort by 2 columns instead of just 1.
I did the basic first step and recorded myself sorting the datasheet by both columns in 1 sort and got the code, but the problem is that the number of rows will change day-to-day, week-to-week, and so on, so I need it to not specify a cell number as the end of the range.
While searching around, I saw a very handy little piece of VBA code that will search for a header name, which is really nice because that would make it much easier to share this Macro with my coworkers who have different reports that all have columns in different locations.
So, I have a multi-part question. I will start with the most important one:
How do I alter this to not specify A9590 and D9590 as the last cells in those ranges?
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Date XREF").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Date XREF").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range( _
"A6:A9590"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Date XREF").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range( _
"D6:D9590"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
[code]....
Is there a way to have the Macro find where the header row is? The header rows in our reports can appear anywhere from Row 1 to Row 8 depending on how the report is set up (usually we have some information about the data, date range, etc at the top).
Dim c As Integer
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Date XREF").Range("A5").CurrentRegion
c = .Find(What:="Assignment ID", After:=.Cells(1, 1), LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False).Column
.Sort Key1:=.Cells(1, c), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlYes, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
End With
I have a sheet that looks like this...
Date
Start #
End #
1/1/11
1000
1099

And I want to sort it to look like the following, in order to track each number to a date and to enter into an external database...
Date
#
1/1/11
1000
1/1/11
1001

I need to list the entire thing instead of having starting and ending part #s. Any macro to do this? The actual spreadsheet has 250 dates and over 30k part #'s so doing it out is not really an option.
