Excel 2007 :: List Of Numbers Not Sorting Correctly?
Oct 29, 2013
Using Excel 2007, I have a very simple spreadsheet made up of only two worksheets that I am using to track the songs played by a band during a current tour.
One worksheet is called "Summary" and the other is called "Setlists". In the Setlists worksheet I list every show played (10 shows so far), and every song played from each show. In the Summary worksheet I have very song listed that has been played during the tour in one column (A), then the number of times that song has been played in another column (B). Column B, the number of times each song has been played, is populated by a COUNTIF function that looks at the Setlists worksheet and counts each instance of each song.
What I want to do, very simply, is to sort on column B in order to display the list of songs from the most played to least played. That is where I run into a problem. When I sort my list of numbers, I end up with a seemingly random list that certainly isn't from most to least and I can't figure out why.
Is it possible that the COUNTIF function which populates that column of numbers is somehow throwing off the sort?

I have three columns expressing death dates (date, month, year). The months and dates are finally sorting correctly within the same year, but I have it set to sort by year first.
The column starts off fine with 1860, goes up to 2013, then starts back at 1884 and goes back up to 2009. I can't find any difference between the two groups: there are some of the same years represented, there are blank month and date cells in both. I have a worksheet with birth dates that sorted fine; the only difference I can find is that birth dates only go up to 1997, but the column is formatted as General, so the turn of the century shouldn't be a problem.
I've tried highlighting the whole thing before sorting as well as selecting one cell as usual. I've also tried formatting the column as Text. I can't think of anything else.

Excel 2007 - Sorting across columns
Need to sort part of an Excel worksheet across multiple columns.
For example data is:
ABCDEF1
Machine
4394264394294394434399834399842
Model
TD860TD400TD860TD620TD6203
Pgm
OPTABCOPTEP2EP24
Start
5/31/119/1/115/1/096/15/092/1/085
End
2/28/158/31/125/31/114/30/108/31/09
I need to sort it first by Pgm, within Pgm by Model, and within Model by Machine. I do not need to sort on Start or End
The results should look like:
ABCDEF1
Machine
4394294399834399844394264394432
Model
TD400TD620TD700TD860TD8603
Pgm
ABCEP2EP2OPTOPT4
Start
9/1/116/15/092/1/085/31/115/1/095
End
8/31/124/30/108/31/092/28/155/31/11
After selecting the data to be sorted (columns B,C,D,E,F), I tried using "Sort Left to Right" under DATA-SORT-OPTIONS but it doesn't seem to work.

when you sort by VBA, you can only do 3 level of sorting. is there a workaround solution for 4 or more level to sort?
I am using excel 2007 but the data excel is xls.

I'm having some problems sorting a list of numbers that some are larger than others, but it would sort it by how large the number is in regards to 123 or 45... 45 would go first instead of 123... I tried to change the column to numbers but it still won't work. as well as in the custom sort section. I'll try to upload a sample...

I'm selecting only some rows in a Table trying to sort only these rows (e.g. rows 11 thru 75 in a 200 row table), but when I hit Sort Excel always overrides my selection by selecting all the rows in the table instead. The same thing happens in VBA. I'm using Excel 2007.

I have a spreadsheet with nested subtotals. i need to sort it based on one of the nested subtotals, but maintain the rows that comprise the subtotals, together with the subtotal.
is there a way to do this? I don't want a macro because then the whole project will be done as a macro. this is just a small part of what i am doing.
sample included. my goal is to sort by column F (ABS value) high to low so that rows 8-13 are together and maintain the subtotal and on top, then rows 34-36 are together and maintain the subtotal and are next, etc.
I am in Excel 2007.

I have some data in a Excel 2007 workbook in the range a1:d100 and I want to sort the data according to "A" column, which is the first column of the range and when I am giving data sort it is prompting to select the column, where as in 2003 it will prompt to select the column but by default it will take the first column of the range, so if we want the first column the we can hit enter key otherwise need to change the column name which will save time.
My question is that whether there is any setting I can make at the time of sorting data and by default it will take the first column of the range.

with this problem (which I've been trying for weeks to solve).
I have a column ("C") of 640 numbers, which I need to randomly sort and place into the adjoining (ten thousand) columns. I then need to correlate each of these 10k columns with column "B".
The problem I have with the attached (which works for small numbers), is that when I increase the table size to 640 rows and anything more than a dozen or so columns, it takes forever to calculate and Excel often crashes.

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 am putting together multiple worksheets with dumped data that should sort themselves by the press of a button. Each entry has a 'code' and a value and they are sorted by the 'code'.
At the moment i have the first worksheet sorting correctly and i am trying to program the second worksheet to sort data into the existing worksheets if they exist or create a new worksheet if the data doesn't have it's own worksheet.
Here is the code i am working with.

I have created a pivot table using a family name in row labels. The names appear in alphabetical order unless the person's name is the same as a month or day of the week. The result is that I have Mr Sun and Mr May at the top of my list, rather than listed alphabetically. Sorting the list does not solve the problem. It switches Mr Sun and Mr May, but does not included them in the main list. Is there a setting I can use that will stop Excel 2007 thinking that these words are something that they are not?

I am using Excel 2007 and I have a worksheet with multiple columns, some of these columns are protected and some are not.
I then lock the worksheet with a password so the user can't edit certain cells that are protected but can modify the unprotected cells, the problem is the user cannot use the filter or sort the workbook.
Is there a way to allow filtering or sorting but still lock down the worksheet.

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.

I have a List of Different Fruits in Cells A1 to A5
Apple
Banana
Orange
Strawberry
Cherry
And I use data validation list in 5 different cells from Cells C1 to C5 then in every cell the list will show all the fruits,
But I want that if I select Any Fruit in cell C1 that should not be included in the remaining 4 cells, and the fruits selected in Cells C1 and Cell C2 should not be included in the remaining 3 cells and so on....
I Used the formula
=IF(C1=A1,OFFSET(A2,,,COUNTA($A$2:$A$5),1),0)
But this works fine if I select Apple in the Cell C1, then the List of C2 Shows all Fruits other than Apple, But if in Cell C1 I select any fruit other than Apple it does not work... (Using Excel2007 & Win XP)

I am using Excel 2003.
I have a pivot table in sheet1 and references in sheet2 like
Code:
='Sheet1'!A1
and so on to copy the whole thing to make it the source data for a bubble chart.
Now, I want to convert the table in sheet2 into a list via Ctrl+L to be able to sort by names with a dropdown menu. Unfortunately, I have to copy all rows from 1 to 1000 to account for possible increases in the pivot table size. This results in blanks in the list and when I want to sort it, I have 990 blanks before the first data rows show up. Not very neat

I am trying to sort a list of business development leads. When a lead is dead I enter the date in the column entitled "Closed". Therefore, the Closed cell for active leads is blank. Whilst I still wish to retain the information of dead leads, when sorting I would like them listed at the bottom of the list. However, whenever I sort on the Closed column, whether using newest to oldest or oldest to newest, the blank cells are always at the bottom, instead of the top.
How to get the sorted blank cells to the top?
I'm using Excel 2011 on Mac OS X 10.7.

I am having an issue with Excel not adding three numbers correctly.
C10 = .82
C11 = .18
C12 = .70
C14 = Sum(C10:C12)
I also tried C10 + C11 + C12
Excel keeps telling me the answer is 1.69!

I'm using excel 2007 sp3. I have a function that I want to adjust so that, when used, it spits back the last two numbers in a specific cell. Is there an easy way to do that? If my cell said blahblah12395-01, how can I get excel to gather the '01'? My current code is below...
Code:
RowPos = RowSpec & ", and " & Range("C" & LoopStrt)
The 'Range("C" & LoopStrt)' is what I currently have to gather the contents of the cell. I have a message box later that displays the "RowPos" string.

I have a Excel 2007 spreadsheet of part numbers and quantities sold. In the spreadsheet we have similar part numbers, but my sumif command is adding these together. the parts are :
0124225031
R124225031
My column of part numbers is formatted as text
My formula is this =SUMIF(Sheet1!H:H,A16,Sheet1!Q:Q) where H is the part number and Q is the quanity
I tried adding a format command in the sumif command, but it returned a 0. =SUMIF(Sheet1!H:H,format(A16,"0"),Sheet1!Q:Q)
better formula and why is excel adding different part numbers together?

I have a column in my data set that consists of dates and times in this format: 2014/08/02 01:46:49 PM. I am trying to convert these dates and times to numbers so that I can actually use these values for calculations and regression analysis. When I click on one of the cells, I get a number that is revealed along with decimals. For example, the cell with 2014/08/02 01:46:49 PM had a stored value of 41853.574. I tried to highlight the entire column of dates + times and click on the format cells button. I selected the number category under number but that did not work. I also tried to use the =DateValue(Cell #) function but that did not allow for distinguishing between the same date but different times.
What are my options for converting these dates and times to numbers that I can work with? Is there a way to get the entire column of dates + times to show each cell's numeric stored value?
