I have a multiple Excel sort option question and I hope that someone can answer it. I have multiple rows and I want to sort rows together that match(text or value) in 3 different columns. If there is not a match, I would like Excel to delete the row. I have over 160,000 items and probably only 20,000 match and this is why it would be such a pain to do this manually.
View 9 RepliesI am trying to figure out how I can sort multiple customers in a single cell, and then assign the customers to the outside salesman. The basic idea is in column A I have the customers for a specific job. Assume I have three customers (Alpha, Omega & Gamma) and they are all in ONE cell. I need to sort this and assign each customer to each of my outside salesmen (Bob, Ted, Fred) in another column. The other component to this question is that Bob, Ted & Fred may have MORE than one customer in that single cell........

When I open the .csv-file every bit of information comes up in the A-column instead of having INFORMATION1 in the A-column INFORMATION2 in the B-column and so on.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 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.
I'm looking for a way to sort things with multiple decimals (version number). Is there a way to have something like this:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to merge two or more tables.
The first column of each table is the same field, for example 'Country'. Lets say the first table has information on male population, the second table has information on female population. So i want to merge the tables into one, but here's the problem: table1 has 100 rows (countries), table2 has 96 rows (countries). I need excel to recognise the 4 missing rows of data in table2 and insert blank rows so all the data in table2 corresponds to the correct country in table1 (column1).

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
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've come upon a problem with sorting that I don't know how to tackle... I have entries in a workbook that I want to sort by a transaction number, but each entry spans multiple rows. One "entry" might look like this, for example:
TransID PassengerName Ticket#
leg of travel: Departure Arrival
leg of travel: Departure Arrival
I need to be able to sort by TransID or PassengerName while keeping the "legs of travel" attached to the correct TransID/Ticket#.
I have lists of products that I want to sort, but all the skus are in different formats, some letter, numbers, spaces, symbols and mixes of all.
Example:
01107919
CE-4128B9
RED-BRIC889
1124
14100119020-E
86TR
ECO CUP22OZ/1000
1418909888783301
I would like to organize them by the order of the numbers, letters and symbols, not the value of the numbers.
Example:
01107919
1124
14100119020-E
1418909888783301

I have tried formatting and different sorting options but there's a dent in the wall and my forehead is getting bruised from all of the banging.
Create a macro or some other solution to sorting my data. Just clicking on Sort Ascending isn't good enough because it'll sort everything and remove the empty rows. However, I want the empty rows to stay there. The way that I've been doing this is manually. Basically, after the empty rows were inserted, I'd click on a cell in Column A and click on Sort Ascending, then I'd scroll down and click on the next set of data and click on Sort Ascending, then the next set and the next. I'd end up having to do this hundreds of times.

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).

Here's the issue: I have a spreadsheet with 12,000 contacts in it (name, email, phone number, country, industry, etc etc). The sheet is kind of messy, and I want to clean it up. One way thing I want to do is organize it. I want to sort the Master sheet into other worksheets, and I would like to do this Industry.
Is there a way to make excel register when a contact is in a certain industry, and then subsequently move that contact into a sheet? I tried playing around with If/Then functions, but I think this is a job for a macro/VB expert.

1) Is it possible to hide all cols save D & E and also all blank rows in Col D
2) I would like to have an initial If statement saying stating that if the answer to the question in D2 is Y then don't display anything else other than the info in B2 & B3.
£) the sorting seems to have gone funny - not sure what I've done here, I'd like it sorted by phase (col A)
4) where there is a blank in the cell under a question (for example D3) - this means that the same question applies and that multiple docs should be returned (e.g for Q1 D2 docs 1 & 2 display, for qu D37 docs 36 - 39 display)
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 a sorting question in Excel 2010. Attached is an example workbook with a simplified version of the situation.
I want to sort a table multiple times. I have a table with part numbers and alphanumeric locations (Row, Shelf, Bay, Slot). I have formulas that divide up the location into 4 separate columns to be able to sort.
The first sort I do is by location, which I can easily achieve. The issue I have is sorting AGAIN by part number, while keeping the original sort somewhat intact. If a part number shows up multiple times (i.e. in two DIFFERENT locations), the Nth instance might show somewhere down the list.
Is there a way to sort my table to where you keep it in location order WHILE accounting for duplicates, which I would want grouped together in location order? Please see attached file : SortExample.xlsx
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedBackground: I am HR manager for a construction company & keeper of the call-in list of personnel who are looking for work. I have a simple sheet that has columns:
Date Name Craft Experience ...more info...
If each call-in had only one craft, wouldn't have a problem. Those who are multicrafted ar listed e.g. "EL, MW, BM" In the column C. A caller two days later may be listed as "MW, BM, EL" We input the data as they say it since that is usually their order of expertise. (Yes, I know that it should have been set up with each craft having its own column, but I inherited the sheet & it has 4000+ entries)
I wrote a couple of small macros & assigned buttons on the sheet to allow the users to sort the sheet by date, or name, or craft. My customers (project managers) have requested to be able to sort by craft but have all the folks with any specific craft listed together.
Example (Excel 2003): ..
I have two lists. A1:A7000 has 7000 items and B1:B10000 has 10,000 items all in random order. List B includes all the items on list A, but with an additional 3000 items. How can I extract the 3000 items that are exclusively on list B? I would like to put these on a new list C1:C3000.
