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 Replieswhat I do with excel: I have an excel sheet that has over 18,000 rows in it. Since it would be a nightmare to scroll around to find what I want, I use the Custom Sort and Filter options under Editing>Sort&Filter. So for example, I can omit 17,800 rows using a specific setting so that I can work with a more reasonable 200 rows. Moreover, the 200 rows comes from all over the spreadsheet. Meaning their row numbers are not always consecutive.
Here's the problem: Whenever I try to copy anything from this "edited or filtered" excel sheet, the resulting paste is not an exact copy. Excel perfectly copies the first rows up until the point where the row numbers ceases to be consecutive. So, the copy function messes up somehow when the data being copied comes from a different section of the original 18,000 rows.
In case this isn't clear enough...
Let's say that the original file has rows 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Once I filter/custom sort, I see rows 1,2,3,8,9,10
When I try to copy/paste 2,3,8,9, excel copies 2,3, but messes up the rest of the 8,9. And I end up with a totally useless copy that's generally shorter than it's supposed to be.
I would like to sort my column A by "Urgent, High, Medium and Low". However, when I click on sort, it obviously sorts alphbetically. Need to code to sort all colums A:K.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI created 3 custom toolbars. I want toolbar A to be visible only in Workbook A.xls, toolbar B to be visible only in Workbook B.xls and toolbar C to be visible only in Workbook C.xls. while Workbooks A,B, and C are open at the same time. I use Workbook A to automatically open Workbooks B and C.
Problem: Since I'm openning the Workbooks automatically it only keeps the Toolbar C visible on all Woksheets.
I included the following code in the This Workbook Object on each Workbook:
For Workbook A:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.CommandBars("A").Visible = True
Application.CommandBars("B").Visible = False
Application.CommandBars("C").Visible = False

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 large excel file with the top seven rows such as you see in the attached file. In row five there is a bunch of info before the month and the year. What I want to do is get rid of that info besides the month and year. I than want to sort each column by the month and year so that all the columns are in sequential order.

I would like to ask if it is possible to sort a range of row? What I mean is, if I sort like Row 1, the entire block of row 1 will move as well? Like if i have column A to F, then row 1 of column A to F will move together at the same time.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of making a database more efficient and am running into a problem with sorting data. I currently am trying to use AutoFilter to sort the data. When I want to then narrow the results further using the same column as the critical and there is nothing that matches the critical, I get everything from the entire database that matches that critical rather than what I want to see, which, in this case, would be nothing.
I have attached a sample file. In it, when All AF 1000 is run and then Selected MAC 2000 Wash is run, I want to see no results instead of seeing all MAC 2000 Washes from the original data set. I can do it using IF/THEN but I am looking for a faster way to do it.
I am trying to sort a sheet based on the values in a column.

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:

MyCount = Application.CustomListCount + 1
MyValue = InputBox("Enter ID")
Application.AddCustomList Array(MyValue)
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Sort _
Key1:= Range("A1"), _

Header:=xlYes, _
OrderCustom:=MyCount, _
MatchCase:=False, _

I would like to change the greater than number to the value in cell 'I11' in sheet 'Linear Programming Data' and the less than number to the value in cell 'I12' in sheet 'Linear Programming Data'. The code I am using was done by recording a macro since I don't know how to code in vba.

Sub Results2()

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?
I'm trying to write a macro that will custom filter a column for cells containing the value in a cell, the macro I have so far is:
Sub Filter()
ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = off
LookupVal = Range("C3")
Range("A8").AutoFilter Field:=4, Criterial:=LookupVal
End Sub
However that only returns cells that are equal to C3, normally to do contains I would put "* *" around the value but then that removes the reference to cell C3.
I have a column named remarks (amongst many others) and want to apply a custom filter on my data so that all records which have a "?" anywhere in the text should be listed.
However I can't do that because in the filter dialog box, the use of "*" and "?" is for wildcards...
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:
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".
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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

3-99-7-8-99-5-6-99-8-9
4-99-8-7-99-6-5-99-9-8

after sort:
---A-B-C--D-E-F--G-H-I
1-99-5-6-99-1-2-99-3-4
2-99-5-6-99-1-2-99-3-4

I am trying to use the AutoFilter/Custom function in Excel (it is available under the Data Menu). It offers me two conditions/criteria that I can apply using and/or. For eg:
Filter:
does not begin with - 3
and / or
does not begin with - 9.
I want to add a third 'and' criteria .. is it possible, and if so, how?
The column that I am trying to filter has numbers formatted as text.
Everyday I've to make Pivot Table from Data given by Branch Manager. When I create Pivot, my Row Label comes in order like
ICV TRUCK
LCV BUS
LCV TRUCK
MCV BUS
MCV TRUCK
PICKUP &
SCV shown in "automaticPivot" sheet in attached file. Later I arrange it in order of
MCV BUS
LCV BUS
MCV TRUCK
ICV TRUCK
LCV TRUCK
PICKUP
SCV by dragging manually everyday shown in "desiredRowLabelSort" sheet.
Is there any way that sort Row Label automatically instead of manually OR any other faster way than doing manually?
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 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.

I need a function/macro that will find all rows that have a specified value in column A and extract selected columns to a new spreadsheet. More, I need it to do it for every value in column A.
I would also like it to skip creation of new worksheet if value in selected row and column is null.*
I've been trying to combat this problem with advanced filters, which helped, but due to size of the data and range of values in column A it takes an entire day to process manually. Because the data is exported to another program after it's processed, it can't stay in the same sheet, also, linking back to the original sheet doesn't work because the data changes all the time.
