I am having trouble finding info on this. I am trying to create a custom list to sort data.
I only want to sort two of the letters in my first Level or Column. For instance I want to sort Column A Alphabeticaly as A, B, C, D, but once I get to E, have the rest of the list in a random order that is sorted by my next level. Is there a wildcard character that can be used to have my next sorting level take over once I get to E?
How to sort a column of data based on a custom list with more than 255 characters.
I have created a named range with 40 entries and then added data validation in the cells of column D using the above named range. However, I want to be able to sort column D in the same order as the named range but the custom data sort lists are restricted to 255 characters.
Sort Example.xlsx
I have data in Sheet "Schedule" in range A8:C160 (including column headers), but note the length (rows) of the range is dynamic.
A8 = Customer
B8 = Load Time
C8 = Delivery Time
Columns B & C are formatted as h:mm:ss AM/PM, but Column B also includes text..."PRELOAD"
I would like a macro to sort the data based on column B, but the sort must follow a specific order, which is listed in Sheet "TimeSort", range A1:A50 (including header).
The custom order basically has "PRELOAD" sorting at the top, then sorting everything else chronologically starting at 6:00am.
The desired outcome would sort the range based on column B as follows...PRELOAD, 6:00:00 AM, 8:00:00 AM, 12:00:00 PM, 5:30:00 AM
Example is attached (desired sort is reflected).
I have a Macro that I have recorded that autosorts several columns for me. This works fine as I have 5 columns that need to be sorted in a particular way.
The problem is that I have a custom list which I stored using the: Tools>Options>Custom List tab. Now this works fine on my pc as I have the custom list stored on my PC.however the problem is when someone else uses it on their PC it may no longer work as they won't have my custom list stored on their PCs.
Is there a way to store the custom list in a Macro and then use that list to sort to the criteria needed. For example "One, Two, Three, Four" will not store in alphabetically, so hope would I be able to sort so that they would appear in a chronological manner? Below is the code for the Macro I recorded. As you can see one of the lines says "OrderCustom:=6"; this I am assuming is reading from the list I created.
I have following code, which sorts data if user "double clicks" on cells A1, B1, C1, or D1. If the user "double clicks" on cell D1, I want to sort by column D but I want to apply a custom list. The data is in the "Custom Lists" table but I can't figure out how to apply to my code.
The sequence/sort order of the list is as follows:
aaa+, aaa, aaa-, aa+, aa, aa-, a+, a, a-, bbb+, bbb, bbb-, bb+, bb, bb-, b+, b, b-, ccc+, ccc, ccc-, cc+, cc, cc-, c+, c, c-, ddd+, ddd, ddd-, dd+, dd, dd-, d+, d, d-
code is as follows:
I am trying to create a custom sort list by going to preferences/custom lists and typing 37 items into a new list in Excel. It will not take all of the items after I type them in. Is there a limit as to how many items can be in the list. It seems to only take 18-20 items out of the 37 and erases the rest.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a large list of parcels to be delivered which have names, the last 2 letters of the postcodes, addresses tel. no. etc. I have created a custom sort list of postcodes in the order I want to deliver them. I can only list a total of 85 postcodes since there are 2 characters in each postcode and a return at the end of each line, hence 85*3=255.
Is there any way I can make excel sort my list of parcels using a spreadsheet list of the 2 postcode letters of unlimited length? There is a theoretical maximum of 676 postcodes in my area (26*26) so I would need it to be at least this long. It would also be more convenient if it were an excel based list since the editing of such a list would be more convenient.

Is it possible to make excel sort ascending or descending but from mid way through alphabet and then loop through the alphabet again. for example. If Cell A1 had "A" in, it would sort as normal.
Cell A1 = A
Cell A2 = B
Cell A3 = C
Cell A4 = D
Cell A5 = E
If Cell A1 had "C" in, it would sort from "C" through the alphabet and then loop to the start of the alphabet as shown below.
Cell A1 = C
Cell A2 = D
Cell A3 = E
Cell A4 = A
Cell A5 = B
As of right now these are the steps i do to sort...i click custom sort choose My data has headers and then i select from the drop down list the word FRNAME.
is there any way i can setup a macro to do this for me? i tried recording the macro but it just is recording me choosing the column FRNAME is in. This does not work for me since FRNAME end up being in different columns all the time but will always be in row 1.
I have a data validation in a cell that works like this : if a control cell has the value "F" it validates the input with some dates in a custom list, if not it does nothing.
The formula looks like this :
=IF(F2="F",datelist,"")
It works fine but I also want it to display the drop down list when cell F2 = F, now all i can do is type a value and it checks if it's ok.
Can I do this without using vba ? I will send this to other persons and I don't want the macro warning to pop up when they open it.
I have a Drop-Down Menu that looks like:
BOS
PIT
COL
NYR
using List with source =Lists!$B$2:$B$9, which is just the validation list
My Table:
Team Player
BOS Bergeron
BOS Krejci
NYR Nash
... ...
My goal is to limit the end user from choosing BOS more than two times from the drop down menu
I have Sheet1 "MASTER" and Sheet2 "Area1" and Sheet3 "Area2" etc...
My MASTER sheet has a list of employee names and the areas they work in. I have employees working in different areas, and I want to pull a list of employee names from the MASTER working in Area1 (sorted on the MASTER sheet) to column A on Sheet2, then pull a list of employee names working in Area2 to column A on Sheet3, etc...
I want it to do this in such a way that if I add an employee to Area1 on the MASTER data, it will populate that employee in the Area1 Sheet.
So basically, I'm looking at one column on the MASTER sheet to see if the area matches. Then looking at another column on the MASTER sheet to get the name. Then taking that name and transposing it to a new sheet corresponding to the area they work in.
I've attached a sample sheet. I want Column A in the Area1 sheet to reflect all names that show up on the Area1 LIST on the MASTER sheet, and nothing else. I'm using VLOOKUP to pull the rest of the data from the MASTER table.
There is a new sample workbook up now. Couldn't update it sooner due to site outage. I've removed irrelevant data to improve readability and focus on what I'm trying to achieve. Again, the main issue is scraping column E from the Master, and populating a list of all employees who match certain values in Column E on the Master in Column A of the other tabs.
I am having trouble getting this list of data sorted the way that I would like.
Here is the data:
I am trying to sort a sheet based on the values in a column.
S, SI, M, MI. and it need to be sorted only in this order.
I would like to custom sort a table by ID, the first ID to be shown on top would be the ID the user enters in an inputbox. Below is the code I used but I don’t know why its not working:
Sub CustSort()
Dim MyCount As Integer
MyCount = Application.CustomListCount + 1
MyValue = InputBox("Enter ID")
Application.AddCustomList Array(MyValue)
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Sort _
Key1:= Range("A1"), _
Order1:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlYes, _
OrderCustom:=MyCount, _
MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
Application.DeleteCustomList MyCount
End Sub
find attached an example, try entering 300000 in the inputbox the custom sort doesn’t work
I'm wanting to be able to sort a table of data using a custom list for both the first criteria and the second criteria. I've setup my custom list correctly and it works perfectly for the first criteria, however, with the second criteria Excel just adopts its default sort order.
Is it possible to get it to use the custom list on the second criteria as well? Is there a simple VBA solution to this?
I feel I've searched thoroughly and wasn't able to find the right answer. I've attached a daily report example that needs the "Product" field to be sorted in a particular order. The order should be JEX, Q3791J, YOO5, KLX9, GHT (all similar products need to be grouped together).
Since the report is run daily the number of rows changes daily: one day can have 50 entries and the next 10. Is there a way to dictate the sort order and insert a blank row between each product grouping?
Once the Products have been separated into their groups, how would I sort each grouping by the "Term" column?
This is somewhat related to a post I had submitted previously but a bit more complex http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?p=2139259. I have following code, which sorts data if user "double clicks" on cells A1, B1, C1, D1, or E1.
If the user "double clicks" on cell D1, I want to sort by column D using following custom list: AA1, AA2, AA3, A1, A2, A3, ZZ1, ZZ2, ZZ3, Z1, Z2, Z3. If the user "double clicks" on cell E1, I want to sort by column E using following custom list: AAA+, AAA, AAA-, AA+, AA, AA-, A+, A, A-, ZZZ+, ZZZ, ZZ+, ZZ-, Z+, Z, Z-
The issue I seem to be encountering is that I can’t use more than one custom list (e.g., if I use the column D sort list for column D, column E is also using the same list). I can’t seem to apply individual lists to each column. Would I need to “hardcode” the lists in my macro?
I have found many macros for sorting multiple sheets by a single column in Excel, however, need macro for sorting multiple sheets by column "A", then column "B".

can anyone modify below macro to sort this data:
before sort:
---A-B-C--D-E-F--G-H-I

Is it possible to do a custom sort on a column so that I can change the order the way the months are sorted. The order I'm looking for is:
October
November
December
January
February
March
April
May
June
July
August
September
Also the format for the cells in that column is 01-Jan, I don't want to see the year because I enter and sort the date as if the year doesn't matter so it automatically registers as 2014, if that makes sense. Basically I want that order of the months regardless of the year.
I'm trying to make a converter between about 8 various types of values. These are not units like Km or miles or something like that, but rather numbers that represent a specific "hardness value" on a variety of scales (to name a few: HRC, HRA, K)
What I've been doing so far is plotting the two types against eachother and then getting the best trendline I can so that I can use that formula to convert between the two with relative certainty. (for example, when plotting HV vs HRC my fourth order polynomial trendline with an Rsquared of 1 is y=0.0001x4 - 0.0188x3 + 1.0768x2 - 20.709x + 350.69)
My questions comes up where I was hoping to make a window or box of some sort allowing the user to input a numeric value, then selecting the Input units and the hopeful output calculated units, and have the box spit back to the user the conversion.
I am trying to sort a bunch of data by a custom list from left to right and after running the macro successfully excel crashes upon saving. I have tried this on different computers, resaved, started from scratch and it always crashes so there must be something with the macro that is causing this.
here is my macro:
Edit: It seems that the last line of code is causing my problem. I have started from scratch and gone though all the code one at a time and saved after each run. everything is fine until the "Application.DeleteCustomList Application.CustomListCount" is run. after that excel crashes when saved.

Is there any way to filter/sort a workbook by a specific text. (EX. Unit 17) I have a spread sheet with 40,000 plus rows and in 1 column it has descriptions. I am needing the filter to filter out all occurrences of Unit 17 and Unit 16. They will not always say the something happened to them. EX Repair brakes on Unit 17 or maybe repair tires on Unit 17...
View 3 Replies View Related Basically, I have a sheet that shows time in Days going downwards (monday tuesday etc.) and is broken out by week. In Column C, I have Project Names. Columns G-O have numbers.
What I need to do is run a custom sort multiple times down the page so that each week has been sorted by Project Name (column C). I was hoping to be to just make a quick macro shortcut to run my custom sort and each new range I selected but I don't know how to make the macro run on the actively selected cells and not hard-coded cells.
I need to create a custom function that can do the following without modifying the selected range. If I have data in a row, I need a function that can give me the following result:
Original unsorted data:
79
45
23
56
1
The custom formula will not modify the selected range, and after saving it or copying somewhere and sorting it, it will provide the following result: if N or count(range)=5 , and p=1, average(second and third smallest values of the range)=34; and if N=4 (lets say that we errase the number 1 data point in the range), average(third and fourth smallest values of the range)=67.5 So it is basically a sort and then getting the averages of specified row numbers depending on N or count(range) Here is what I have.
I'm missing how to create a variable with the sorted range and how to use an index to refer to the rows I want to average:
Function CSORT(r, p)
Application.Volatile
'rs or something similar that will contain the sorted range r
Dim rs As Range
'Sort rs (The following line one doesn't work, so I need one that does)
rs = Application.Range(r).Sort
Dim p As Integer
