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.

The formula below generates the dates for every Tuesday and Friday for every week of the year by doing a Fill Down operation.
=A145+IF(WEEKDAY(A145)=3,3,4)
My objective right now is to generate the dates for every Wednesday and Saturday for every week of the year by doing a fill down operation. What I can't figure out is how to I modify this formula to give me dates only for Wednesday and Saturday. The Help Excel provides for this function is not too clear. I would appreciate it if anyone can explain what is the logic being used for the key numbers "=3,3,4)" ? These numbers is what controls the days of the week that show up with dates, but the logic being used doesn't make sense to me.
I have a date in H34, 21/03/2009.
In I34 I have the same date again, except formatted as MMMM YYYY so its showing "March 2009".
In G10, I want the cell to read: Number at end of March 2009, with the month and year being taken from the date range. To be honest, I can get the year okay using the Year() function but cant get the month as cant convert it back from a numeric.
For making quotes at work, I'm looking to have the quotes named automatically. The format of naming our quotes is the date (in this format) then quote name: yymmddNAME (Example for today: 090720EXCEL)
I'm using the =NOW() function for the date (Cell A1), then doing a custom format to turn the format into yymmdd then in a different cell I'm putting in the "NAME" (Cell A2) and what I want to do is combine the 2 cells (Cell A3) by doing: =A1 & A2
but when i do this, the format of the date gets messed up.
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.
New Microsoft Excel Worksheet (2).xlsx
I am trying to create a custom sorting in VB. My sorting needs to be first on column B, then C and last on G. My data does not have headers.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 have a pivot table with multiple row fields and multiple column fields. One of the column fields is a Date and I need some VBA that will auto-sort the columns into ascending order by the Date column field.
E.g., if the first four column labels are "2-Jun-2010, 13-May-2009, 16-May-2013, 17-May-2012" then i want the sort to arrange them as "13-May-2009, 2-Jun-2010, 17-May-2012, 16-May-2013".
Note: This is the left to right order of the columns i'm talking about, not the top to bottom order of the rows, or the data in the rows but specifically the column labels.
I've tried googling a solution and I can find a variety of code that deals with sorting the data in the rows in all sorts of ways, but nothing on how to order the columns.
i'm using excel 07, and the source data for the pivot table has the Date field formatted as custom "dd-mmm-yyyy". This can be changed if necessary.
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??
Col C = Text and Col F = dates
I would like to count the # of times a value occurs in Col C based on a date
range in Col F.
I have 2 columns: Locations (Column A) & Dates (Column B).
I want to find the most recent date for a selected Location (stored in $G$1).
currently I have in C2: =If($A2=$G$1,$B2,"") copied down the column to the end of data (currently C153). Then in C1: =Max(C$2:C$153).
I also have in D2: =If($C2<$C$1,$C2,"") copied down to D153, and in D1: =Max(D$2:D$153) to find the 2nd most recent date.
Is there some way to condense this into just 2 cells?

I have a dataset where the dates are in the following format:
19970803 = 3rd August 1997 (YYYYMMDD)
My aim is to sort the data into months and into 'turn of the month' periods.
-Is there a way to isolate rows using a search term like "****08**" for all the august entries?
-Likewise if i want data between 27th-3rd for every month is there a way to sort for entries between "******27 - *******03".
Hello, I have a question about sorting information using dates but using a range. I need this to sort when I enter a date range into the spreadsheet (the blue blocks on the attached spreadsheet). The factors in colum G need to be sorted by month and input into the yellow highlighted area in column B. There may be an easier way of pulling the data from the "Data" sheet but this was the best I could figure out. Overall, January (or any of the months)needs to have the January (or appropriate) factor that fits within the date range that was input but sorted properly based on the months listed in Column A.

As part of a larger macro, the code below is supposed to start the separation of data into 4 columns. It doesn't work perfectly though and I have to manually inspect data and correct. The problem is that 22: 8- 3- 3 becomes 8- 3- 3 in the second column, which is what I want. However 60:12- 7-10 becomes 7/12/2010. Excel appears to recognise it as a date, when the extra number is in the second column.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a SUMIF-style formula which is able to test for more than one condition. i.e if the values in column C meet a certain criteria and if the values in column E satisfy another criteria then add all the corresponding values in column D. In my particular spreadsheet, column C contains a date value. So, for all the dates in column C which are later than 01/01/2008 and for all the cells in column E which contain the word "oustanding", I need to add up all the corresponding values in column D.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI work in a factory where we create different types of units daily. Below is a list of planned production on a specific date, say today's date. This is a very crude example, with information missing, and it is important to know that there are conditions attached such as:
The types are added randomly. The amount of types is much greater meaning that each type is on it's own page with breaks between. Everything produced on this date will have a URN (unique reference number) with its first 6 digits equating to yy-mm-dd and the last two being the position of the unit in the production sequence (first=01, second=02 etc).
I have gotten it to the point where if you enter them in sequence (Type A first for example) it will lookup to see the last assigned URN and taking the quantity into account issue the correct URNs.
The issues I have are when the URNs are less than "10", there is a problem displaying the 0 before the digit which disrupts the sequence. I can provide more clear examples if required.

I have column A set up to display dates in the following format: 03/04/2009. While the "look" is fine for the values in the column, I cannot get it to stay in that format when it is moved to a text file. It simply converts the display back to 39876.
I would like a macro that 1) looks at all values in column A and 2) converts each cell in the column to text format but leaves the contents so they are dates 03/04/2009 (mm,dd,yyyy).
I have a worksheet with a range of dates in column E. What I would like is a formula that states If any of those dates is less than or equal to 10 (days) from today and column H text is not "Yes" then show text "Email outstanding Actions" else show nothing?

I am trying to figure out a way to condense my code (improve my code) Right now I am using a Macro in Excel to go through a workbook by selecting each column individually and if there is something in the header then formatting that column as text. The problem with the way I am currently doing it, is that due to size limitations on the VBA code, I can only select columns A to Z, and if there is more data in the worksheet it is not formatted. Also I would like the code to check the header and if the word date is in there, format it as a date instead. Also if there is a way to delete any invalid ranges in the workbook
