How To Order A Column Ignoring The Hyphens
Dec 24, 2008
I have a column that orders fine a-z except for the fact that it doesn't group words together with hyphens e.g.:
1.my-flies
2.myflies
3.my-fly
4.myfly
when I want it to be
1.my-flies
2.my-fly
3.myfly
4.myflies

Here I have some samples of data from row A1:V1 that I want to arrange in ascending order through A4:V4.
For that I’m using the formula below in cell A4 across V4
=SMALL($B$2:$W$2,COUNTA(B2:$W2)-(COUNTA(B2:$W2)-COLUMN(A2)))
Sample data
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV11230507801011121314150170192002523400000012357810111213141517192025
But I want to arrange them leaving zeros as shown below in A4:V4
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV11230507801011121314150170192002523412357810111213141517192025

I need a way to re-order an excel worksheets columns based on another worksheet.
Data is extracted from a database into excel however users can configure the columns in the initial system. to how they like This causes problems when the data is copied into an excel spreadsheet I have created as the data copied will not be in the same column order as is required.
How can i reorder the columns without physically having to cut and paste the columns to match?
I have attached a sample spreadsheet.
You will see on the spreadsheet that 'fixed columns' is the order that i require the data however 'variable columns' is not in the same order.

I'm trying to SUM a column, but it has a negative number in it. I want to sum the column but ignore the negative number.
I.E.
5
46
12
-15
3
so the total would be 66. How is this possible or would i have to use another formula instead of SUM.

I have fractions and whole numbers in a column as per the following.
E13 = 3/4
E15 = 5
E17 = 1-1/2
I can use the formula =SUBSTITUTE(E17,"-"," ")+0 which gives the correct result of 2.5 and also correct
for E15 with the answer 5.
But I'm stumped how to get it correct for E13 where it is less than whole number.
I can use the formula =IF(E13=0,0,("0 "&E11)+0) but that won't work for the remainder of the cells.

I am having a problem with formatting a cell. I have several (into the hundreds) of items that are being inputed and I am looking for resolution with formatting. I have gotten pretty close but there are some kinks that I can't seem to work out.
The column that I am working on has numbers such as these (they aren't currently formatted)
14-12345
14-01234
14-00123
these numbers are organized by 2 digit year (XX) a hyphen (-) and then a five digit number (XXXXX) hence XX-XXXXX.
My number already have the hyphen in them and the auto format has taken some of the numbers from XXXXX to XXX if the number started with two zeros.
14-123
14-1234
Is there anyway to custom format the cell so that it will turn
This into this
14-123 14-00123
But leave this 14-12345 alone?
The closest I have gotten to an answer is this formula 00"-0"0000, but that messes up the larger numbers.

I am trying to take a list of part numbers that have an undefined number of hyphens in the part number, and remove the hyphens in order to use the VLOOKUP function.
Example part numbers are AA34-55A3-L, 444342-02, etc.
I tried searching for threads that helped on this subject but they all involved VBA, which I do not know how to use with Excel. I took VB senior year of high school and C for a semester in college, so I recognize the commands, but I have no idea how it's implemented.
Is there a [relatively simple] way to do this with Excel functions? If not, how would I implement this using VBA? I am currently using the 2003 edition.

I am trying to sort a column of numbers, and some of the numbers have hyphens in them.
Excel will first sort the non-hyphenated numbers then it will sort the numbers with hyphens.
I would like to be able to sort it all together starting from the lowest first number to the last highest number. I have included an example.

I have a column of numbers that are derived with a formula. I need to Average only the ones that either have a Positive or Negative number, ignoring blanks or zero.
I have tried Search but couldn't find anything that address both blank and zero.

Excel tables to the web : [URL] .......
With this small sample, the answer should be 3.35% according to Excel when I choose just those neg and pos cells.

I need a way to randomly generate a number( up to hundred trillion) in cell A1 and in cell B1 have the number appear in word form. Example: 129,114,023,131,453 will appear in A1 and in B1: one hundred twenty-nine trillion one hundred four-teen billion twenty-three million one hundred thirty-one thousands four hundred fifty-three The hyphens are important, commas between the numbers are not necessary. I know that for A1 I can use Randbetween() function to generate the numbers. The problem is generating the word form with the hyphens....

I've a set of 10-digit numbers within a cell, which need to custom formatted in a particular format.
i.e., '1234567890' should be custom formatted to '123-456-7890' (for this i'm using the custom format 000-000-0000)
However, when I have multiple 10-digit numbers like shown in the trix (click here), i'm not able to format them because they are all comma-separated.
Do LMK if there is a workaround

I need to make a macro that will find text between "o/" and "/", remove hyphens from the text it found, and then add it to the end of the current cell contents.
I know how to add to the end of current cell contents, but cannot figure out how to grab text between certain characters or replace hyphens and replace with spaces.

I have a column of data I would like to have reversed on the fly (use functions and not vba). I have a function that works for the first cell but I can't seem to get it to work for the rest of the column when I choose edit/Fill Down.
=OFFSET(GI_Norm_list,MAX(ROW(GI_Norm_RevList))-ROW(),0)
where:
GI_Norm_list = column O
GI_Norm_RevList = Column V
I copy =OFFSET(GI_Norm_list,MAX(ROW(GI_Norm_RevList))-ROW(),0) to cell V1 and it works fine. I choose edit/fill down and I get #REF for every other cell. I seem to be doing this wrong somehow.

I am trying to bulk upload some geo locations for my site, but the data I have is longtude first and latitude after, whereas the site accepts the data reverse, which means latitude, longitude.
that it's possible to change the order somehow.
Here is a example of how it looks:
"(12.595342677449292 55.66937339270993, 12.595097670457731 55.669239938648126)"

I have a macro built that sorts my data by column in descending order depending on what column of information is selected from the drop down menu.
However I need the macro to sort column F in ascending order, and continue to sort the other colulmns in descending order when selected.
I can't get my macro to switch the sort from descending to ascending order for this one column. Looking to see if this is possible, and if so what macro formula I would use.
Here is what the macro i am currently using:
Sub ddSort_Click()
Dim iDdSortVal As Integer
Dim CurrSheet As String
Dim lFirstSectionRow As Long
Dim lLastSectionRow As Long
Dim strCol As String
Dim lRptHeaderRow As Long
Dim iRptMeasColumn As Integer
CurrSheet = ActiveSheet.Name
[Code] .......

Im am looking for a way of automatically sorting the data I have in column "C" (C2:C99 to be exact).
The data represents stock codes which are a mix of text and numbers, starting with 1 letter followed by numbers.
I would prefer something I can put in the sheet tab view code section, so that when any new data is added or altered it automatically sorts the stock codes in to alphabetical then numerical order
EG:
A10
A11
B13
B15
etc....

Ok, imagine this data (say column A). I want to have a cell that automatically searches for the least value (will always be the first number from top) and returns it in another cell. And then repeat the same for the second number from the top.

I want to refer to columns by column order (i.e. A=1, B=2, etc.)
I want to sum a range for dynamic columns and fixed widths (i.e. B2:B5 or F2:F5, etc).
i have C_N as variant and i am trying to write the formula but desperately getting syntax error.
Code:
Range("M5") = WorksheetFunction.Sum(Range(C_N& "2" : C_N&"5")))
i tried before to make another easier formula like
Code:
=Range("N5:N" & LastRow)
and it worked.

I looked at threads realted to printing but wasn ot able to find something similar to what I need. So here is my problem:
I have a file with more than 100 worksheets (each sheet contains the invoice for one store). I would like to create a macro that would enable me to determine the order in which worksheets would be printed. How to do it?
Idea #1: the printing order would be based on the value in cell L1 that would contain the route number for each store. Stores belonging to the same delivery route will have the same value in L1. So, the macro should first print all sheets with 1 in cell L1, then print all sheets with 2 in cell L1 and so on...
Idea #2: Creating a separate data sheet with the list of all stores and their corresponding route number. Let's say info is contained in range A1:B150, where Column A contains the name of the stores and column B contains the route numbers. The macro then should look at that list to determine the printing order of the subsequent worksheets (the name of the store in column A would be the same as the name of the worksheet corresponding to that store).
Idea #3: sorting my 150 worksheets manually. It does not solve my problem fully, though, because stores do not always belong to the same route. So the manual sorting should be carried out daily and would not save time at all.
