Custom Sorting Of Multiple Columns?
Jun 20, 2013
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 have a potential of 5 columns of numerical data (simple number entries) which are entered manually in no particular order.
Is there any way of sorting the data so that it is presented in numerical order (smallest to largest) starting with the smallest figure at the start of column 1 up to the largest figure at the end of column 5.

How do I sort multiple columns at once? In other words, I have a chart that is a series of 1s and 2s, and I need all of the 1s to drop to the bottom, so that I can do a rudimentary chart in spreadsheet form. My chart has dozens of columns like so:
1 2 1 1 1 2 2 2 2
1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 2
2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 2
How do I get the entire range sorted to look like this, without having to do each column individually (hours of work)?:
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
1 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2

How do I sort multiple columns alphabetically with the last name first, then the first name as the 2nd sorting option?
Here is an example of what I have:
year; first; last
2011 chrisBell
2010 chrisBell
2009 chrisBell
2008 chrisBell
[Code] .......
As you can see, the first names aren't sorted 100% alphabetically. I think issue stems from the years 2001 n-2006 n. I have to use the 2001 n since its a different data than the normal 2001.
The default sorting was by year:
2012
2011
2010
2009
[Code] .......
So I want it to sort by last first, then first name. Then it should sort by the default sort I already had in the left column (years).

I want to sort the list like this:
1) If there is a zero (null) value in all 3 months, these records should be at the bottom sorted by record name (I did not show this field in my file).
2) If there is a non-zero (non-null) value in any of the 3 months, the records will be sorted with each other by total change.
Is there a way to do this without me doing sorts multiple times and manually moving rows of data around (which is what I have done to arrive at the list I have attached)? I am not experienced with VBA or Macros, and would prefer a detailed explanation if a solution is using either method.

I have attached an example spreadsheet with two tabs. The first tab (Matrix) shows raw data scores - there are 28 measures in Column A and Participants in Row 1. There are always 28 measures but participants can vary. What I need to happen is to sort each measure in a Lineup tab i.e. rank all the participants listed in the Matrix tab from lowest score to highest score for each of the 28 measures. Obviously this can be done manually but a VBA/macro solution will be so much faster and easier. Unfortunately I have to keep the data in this format so the macro will need to transpose the data to get into the formt in the Lineup tab.

I was handed a pdf of some leads by a co-worker. Finally, I got the data into excel but it's in a pretty useless format... 30,000 rows of contact info with no rhyme or reason. I want to upload this into our CRM, but I need to get all the different bits of info into separate columns. I'm no excel pro, but I managed to use an Excel plugin called ASAP tools to bring some order to this chaos... All names have a blue cell color, all titles have a green cell color, work phone is red, and so on.
Does anyone know a way that I can sort these into separate columns? I've trying playing with the Filter function, but it hides rows which makes the output useless for my purposes.

I need a macro to sort on five columns (Column A, L, P, X, and Y) out of about 33 columns. Sort is all lowest to highest.
The code I have so far is:
Sub Macro1()
Range("A2:AG").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("L2") _
, Order2:=xlAscending, Key3:=Range("P2") _
, Order3:=xlAscending, Key4:=Range("X2") _
, Order4:=xlAscending, Key5:=Range("Y2") _
, Order5:=xlAscending
End Sub
However, I get an error "runtime error 1004 - method range of object global failed".

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.

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.

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.

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??

Is there a code or some way for me to sort 4 columns together? I want to sort a list of employees and for each employee theres a column with their Lost Business, customer satisfaction, and two more columns. I want to sort all the columns at the same time so that the best employees overall will go to the top of the list and the worst ones will be at the bottom. Whenever I use the sorting feature it does each column independant of the others so everytime I sort a new column it just moves around the last one I sorted.

I have a spreadsheet that is populated my Concatinating data from other worksheets. Some of the results are numbers, some is data while others are blank spaces and othersare set by the concactenating default of "" when the criteria is not met. I need to sort these colums. However it seems that the default "" from the formula is not a BLANK or a ZERO or an empty cell.
Those cells will place themselves at the top of the sort. I need to eliniate them. I have copied and pasted as values but that has no effect. Ironically I can identify the cells with an if statement so what I need help with is generating a macro that will cycle thru the range of results and delete the approriate cells.
I have tried the following:
lr = Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row ' Last Row
lc = Range("A1").End(xlToRight).Column ' Last Column
For Each cell In Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(lc, lr))
cell.Select
AC = ActiveCell
If AC = "" Then Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Next
But this does not work as it cycles top to bottom and leaves behind 1/2 the problem cells.

I have an issue with some data that I need to sort into several columns. Basically, I have a column that has data listed in each cell like this; A 567 T 1 D3. What I want to be able to do is sort that data into several columns. I am not sure how to do this at all. I have attached my data to be looked at. I have already started the process but manually, and I don't feel like having to do this manually as this is very time consuming considering I am trying to sort the data into ~1927 rows and 5 columns.

I need help with either a formula or macro for sorting data into specific columns. I need the entries under the headings Ar,Bj... to be sorted into the correct columns. To add to the problem, the data may not be exactly the same as the heading.
Attached is an simple example of a spreadsheet where the top is the original and the bottom is what I need the final outcome to be. The data is pasted from a different spreadsheet and will be changing each time.

I am trying to 'stagger sort' multiple columns, but am having some difficulties.Ex.
Say A and B are lists of part no and C is data corresponding to column B. I have:
A B C
1 2 .
2 3 ,
4 4 ;
5 7 '
8 9 "
I want:
A B C
1 _ _
2 2 .
_ 3 ,
4 4 ;
5 _ _
_ 7 '
8 _ _
_ 9 "
(the _ are just supposed to be empty place holders, without them I have formatting issues)
Is there a 'quick' way to sort them this way?I am attaching the actual file that I am working with.

I have a spreadsheet with four columns of data for every month (i.e. January has a Prior Year, Budget, Outlook, and Actual column). I have been trying to come up with a macro or form that will allow me to customize which columns I would like to see and hide the rest. For example, if I chose to see the Budget and Actual columns, it would hide the Prior Year and Outlook columns for each month.

I'm managing a World Cup Prediction League and have been trying to create a spreadsheet that will eventually feed in to a league, positioning each player in descending order. However, I would like to use three columns to determine how to position the players.
EG.
Priority 1 - Column D - Total Points (Rank from Highest to Lowest)
(if there are players with equal Total Points in column D, then)
Priority 2 - Column F - Correct Scores (Rank from Highest to Lowest
(if there are still players with equal value after Total Points and Correct Scores, then)
Priority 3 - Column F - Incorrect Scores (Lowest to Highest)
I've tried for hours to work this out but can't. It would save me hours of work each day
