CUSTOM SORTING Will Not Work On Table With INDEX Formulas
Jan 28, 2014
Problem we are having with sorting a table.
The table (A1:E10) was created by pulling data from another worksheet using INDEX and ARRAY formulas.
We inserted 6 columns to move the table over to G1:K10 (used column F to space the two tables).
We then duplicated the table: cell A1=G1, B1=H1, ...., E1=K1 and dragged the formulas down. We now have a duplicate table that we want to sort.
We choose CUSTOM SORT and choose 2 levels of sorting ... column A and column C.
PROBLEM: The ARRAY formulation evidently overrides the sort function because the table remains as it was when the sorting command is executed.
Is there a way to bring the data from table G1:K10 over to table A1:E10 in a manner that will allow sorting??

how to return the top 5 results in a set of data.
In a nutshell, I have data that needs to be sorted but some intermediate to advanced (to me) excel formula needs to be used to sort the ranking properly. I've already used index, match and large but it does not suffice.

I'm working on a spreadsheet which will sum values from two source worksheets based on the month and year in certain columns. I put together a summary worksheet and was able to successfully pull the data I wanted. So my next step was to convert the Summary data into a table (because I prefer the aesthetic value of the "greenbar" effect in Excel tables). But as soon as I converted the cells to a table, the formulas returned nothing.
After playing around with it, I determined that the problem seems to be the fact that I use the year criteria as a cell reference (that way, I can later change the year in one cell and update all the dependent formula). I've got "2013" in Cell A1 in General format, and all the formulas use a YEAR=$A$1 criterion. I found out that if I changed the formulas to YEAR=2013 instead of using the cell reference, I got the desired result again. But I cannot quite understand why changing the data into a table would alter the way Excel interprets the formula (plus, I still want to be able to change the year by updating one single cell).

I've got a few worksheets that have staff names on Col A. And these names are under sub headings of what position they work in (Foremen, Operatives etc..).
Before I had access to them, the names were not in order, now I've change it to A-Z, for each staff under their position.
I know you can make your own custom order list, so the list goes top to bottom : Supervisor, Formen, Operative, Office.
What I sometimes need to do is sort Col B or C. But is am unable to sort it back to it's original state
Attached is an example of how I would like my spreadsheets to look. But is there a way to use Sort & Filter so it sorts the entire table by position, keeping the correct name under the correct position heading.

In Column A there are randomly assigned numbers using the RANDBETWEEN function.
In Column B there are three possible values X, Y, and Z.
I want to create a sort order where "X" is always at the top but then the rest of the rows are randomly sorted by column A (Y and Z values are intermixed).
Currently I tried to use a Custom List and the value is "X" to sort first, and then a seconday sort of Column A. The problem is that column B is always sorted by X then Y then Z where I am trying to get the Y and Z values to be randomly intermixed based on the sort of the random numbers in Column A.
I know I can manually do 2 seperate sorts each time, but I would like to save a sort list to the file so I recreate that sort over and over again.

I am trying to create a custom button in Excel that will sort on two different columns. One column has $ Sales and the other has Unit Sales. So you can click on the button and it will sort by $ Sales and if you click the same button again it would sort by the unit sales. I'd also like the text on the button to reflect what option the data would be currently sorted by. I am able to do one of these macros and assign it to the button, but can't figure out how to get both sort options assigned to the same button. I have had outside people send spreadsheets to me with this but can't figure out how they did it.

I want to sort all of the "column2" by alphabetical order. The order will be first by state and then by city. For example the first box the column2 order should be (Fountain Hills, AZ) properties first followed by (Mesa, AZ) properties second followed by (Peoria, AZ) etc.... ending with (Flower Mound, TX) last.
The issue that I'm having is that when I create a custom sort the comma after the city indicates a new value being AZ. For example my custom sorting looks like this: Fountain Hills, AZ, Mesa, AZ, Peoria, AZ. This is limiting my ability to sort the files as is with city, state. I solved this issue by removing the commas after all the cities. This worked but was time consuming. Is there a faster way? The workbook is below.

I need to custom sort a column. I have 3 different types of data in the column. First - multiple dates, Second - "TBA", and Third - "ASAP". What I need is when the column is sorted the "ASAP" rows will be first, the dates (sorted) will be next and finally the "TBA"s. I have been trying to use a custom list.

I have a work sheet with about 35,000 lines of data. Every day I have to sort the list by product category (I use auto filter to separate) and then copy the results into a new worksheet, there are about 300 product catagories. I'm new to macros but I'm wondering if there is a macro that can automate this process.

I need a macro that will take a list of 42 names and 27 locations. The names are broken down into group of shifts, 1 shift, 2nd shift and 3rd shift. We need to perform audits on the 27 locations in groups of 2 people at a time. What I'd like is a macro that would take all the names by shift and assign 2 random people to a location. All 27 locations have to be audited each week (safety), and a report filled out and turned into our safety committee. I would like to post the audit sheet with the macro on our shared drive. Can anyone help me with this.

The attached file contains data. In Worksheet 1 (and also 2 and 3) column B2 shows day, month, year, hours, minutes and seconds. I was hoping to convert this to just Hours and Minutes, but all the usual methods using Custom Format does not work. This leads me to think that its in TEXT format. How can I change Column B2 to Hours and Minutes?

Created a new tab and menu buttons on the Ribbon in Excel in 3 separate .xltm files. Everything worked great through all of the development and testing, but when we went live we got reports of a bug. Here is what is happening...
User opens the template file and immediately saves it as a .xlsm file with a new name in a new location. The user then does various amounts of work in the file. When the user needs to use one of the tools on the custom tab, it is as if the buttons are inactive or not associated with any actions. The tab and buttons are all visible, the animation of the button being pressed works when any of the buttons are clicked, but nothing happens. The user can close and reopen the file and the ribbon buttons will work correctly, but not until they close and reopen.
Upon digging into the problem, we found that if the user clicks on the custom tab before they save the file, all of the buttons will work correctly after the save. But if the tab is not activated before the save, they dont work until a close and reopen.
The XML code is good because if I place it in a add on file (.xlam) and trigger it from the main file, there is no problem. But this is not a good solution since the add on file needs to be located in the same file that the main file is run from which can be any number of places.

As you can see, the number I has a,d,and g, II has b,e,and h, and III has c, f, and i
I want to make formula that if I make the input g it would return I, f would return III, and c would return III, and so on
I want to make four formulas by using VLOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, INDEX&MATCH separately.

I'm attempting to sort a list of containers and their corresponding quantities (A24:B28 in the attached spreadsheet) by using a combination of an index and match formula (cells A31:A35) and a large formula (cells B31:B35) in order to have the container with the largest quantity (summed in cells B24:B28) appear below in cells A31:A35 and the corresponding quantities in cells B24:B28.
My current index and match formula works fine until I have the same quantities of different containers as I have replicated on the attached spreadsheet. When this is the case, the formula returns only one of the various container types. How do I edit the formula to allow for multiple containers with the same quantities?

i have the following formulas that work perfectly seperatly
=MAX(0,(E28-D28-"0:45")*24-F28)
=IF(C28=$C$70,C28=$C$72),2,0)
but it is imperative that i get them to show there results in the same cell.
neither are used at the same time, only one result is required depending on what is needed.
i did try putting them together as follows but did not work
=MAX(0,(E28-D28-"0:45")*24-F28),IF(C28=$C$70,C28=$C$72),2,0)

I'm trying to get some formatting/formulas to work, but apparently I'm not doing it right (otherwise, I wouldn't be here ):
1. Column A has dates. I want Column A_ to be red if the date is a week old or more from today's date, and white if it is not.
2. Column A has dates, and column B has dollar values. I want three four summations:
-Total dollar value from dates a week old from today's date
-Total dollar value from dates 2 weeks old from today's dates
-Total dollar value a month old from today's date
-Total dollar value year to date

Now I'm trying to improve the functionality of the file attached above.I've attached the file again with another drop-down menu. What I'm trying to do is to have a sum of all the months between the two months indicated in the drop down menu.For example by picking two months from the drop down menus, I want to know the sum of the values between Jan-Mar (Jan, Feb and Mar), or for example Jul-Oct (Jul,Aug,Sep and Oct)...
I've tried to combine SUMPRODUCT with INDEX and MATCH but it doesn't work. I want to build upon this formula:
[Code]....
I forgot to mention that I have multiple strings (column E) which are NOT unique. Basically "VLOOKUP way" won't work, rather it should be "SUMIF way".
In the attached file I've added one additional row (r19), which is the same as r18, just to try how the summing will work.

I have a niggling problem with a worksheet when using Hlookup to return a value from a range of cells it is coming up with blanks when there is data in the range.
There is only ever one row cell containing text in the specified range and i need this to be returned in another column.
The problem with the hlookup formula i am using is that it will not work if cells contain formulas and in the range i am working on all cells contain formulas.
I know this formula works if there is text without a formula in the cell range, as soon as it hits a cell with a formula though it won't work.
I have attached the sheet : Book4.xlsx
From j138 there is one cell with text i wish to be returned in column q for each row. E.g., in q1 the first cell text returned would be khawatim. q2 should contain cantor etc etc.

I have created two documents. One document (A) is my worksheet where I input data, the second document (B) is my spreadsheet where it comprises all my data into the fields I want. I have completed both documents on computer (1) and now need to transfer it to another computer (2). However my formulas no longer function after I move the document (A) from computer (1) to computer (2). Is there a way for me to work around this? Do I need to transfer the spreadsheet (B) to computer (2) in order for them to function correctly? How can I make it so I have the worksheet (A) on computer (1) enter data correctly into the spreadsheet (B) on computer (2)?

I've developed a spreadsheet that shows what errors people made in their spreadsheets. I compare cell A1 in spreadsheet 1 (original) against cell A1 in spreadsheet 2 (final), in spreadsheet 3. Spreadsheet 3 shows a "-" if the cell they wrote was OK, and shows the new, correct value if they made an error, as follows:
=IF('Final'!A5='Original'!A5, "-",'Final'!A5)
The problem is, this only works if I take the original spreadsheets, which contain formulae in each cell, and paste them into a new spreadsheet using paste values.
Is it possible for the IF function to search the formula in a cell, and not the value?

How to sort on the simple value in a cell without regard to any formula? I have a spreadsheet and the cells reference others, and have addition formulas in them. When I sort it always references back to the original cell and not simply the value that is in the cell. for example: Column H refers back to column A. I want to sort column H by value low to high but I do not want it to look back at A when I sort.

I have just noticed the following condition and wanted to confirm that my observation is accurate and find out if there is any way to work around.
I have three columns of data:
ItemId Description Qty
1 cans 10
2 bottles 0
3 boxes 0
If I have a formula that multiplies the number of cans by 3 (=C1*3), I get the answer of 30.
OBSERVATION
If I sort the data largest to smallest, then my data will look like this:
ItemId Description Qty
3 boxes 0
2 bottles 0
1 cans 10
The formula does not change its reference. My formula output is now zero.
I would have thought the formula would change to: =C3*3
QUESTION
Is this how excel is supposed to act? Can you change this so that he formula reference is updated when you sort?

I have a league table (attached) - that contains some formulas for updating various columns when scores are typed in. I have one piece of the puzzle left to do, and that is to have the table sorted by column 'O' (points column) in descending order. ie, the team with the highest points sits on top of the league.
The problem is, that whenever I sort the league table, the formulas attached to the 'Plyd' column (column H) get screwed up. This always happens and it doesn't matter if I do it through the use of a macro, or if I sort the league table manually by highlighting and then sorting. Always, the selection boxes in my 'COUNT' formulas seem to shift.

Attached is a spreadsheet I am working on. The cells I am having difficulty with are I5 and I6. Cell I5 should be pulling a value from the 2nd tab based on C4 and C5 AND C6. Or at least that is my intent. However when I change C6 to 6 I get an N/A. When it is 5 based on 15,000 it enters $2,353.73 but according to my table it should be $2,710.23 I am having the same issue with I6. Based on 15,000 it should enter $190. Where did I go wrong.
