Multiple Column Sorting

Mar 10, 2009

I'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).

Here's a (very) simple example: ...

Comparing And Sorting Multiple Column Groups?

Feb 28, 2014

I'm am trying to take multiple column-groups and sort them by product ID number.

I am trying to put together a sales record for the past 26 months for around 2000 different items and sorting them manually would obviously be a nightmare.

I would like to sort them so that all the drugs with the same NDC (prod ID) have the correct data for each month displayed on the correct row for that NDC. Right now I have each set of data for that month sorted by product ID number but some months we used certain products and others we did not. Is there any sort of Macro that I could use? What I am trying to do I attached two files. The "before" and my desired "after".

end product.xlsx

Sorting One Giant Column Into Multiple Columns Based On Cell Color?

Sep 3, 2013

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.

Sorting Multiple Columns ...

Sep 3, 2009

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.

Multiple Cell Sorting

Jul 9, 2008

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.

Sorting Multiple Columns

Sep 8, 2008

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

Sorting A Column

Jan 31, 2008

I have a column which represents by each cell value's number the priority of each row in the table.

What I need to do is create an embedded code that updates the numbers in that column when any value in that column is changed.

For example:

Where the cell values in the column are..

1
2
3
4
5
6

and we change the fifth cell's value to 2

1
2
3
4
2
6

now there are two cells in the column with the same value, we want to keep the value we just changed in the 5th cell but update every other cell that is following the value of 2....

1
3
4
5
2
6

then I would like to resort the table by these new priorities.

similarly if the change is to increase rather than decrease the priority value...where the 3rd cell was increased from 3 ...

1
2
3
4
5
6

changed to 5..

1
2
5
4
5
6

the new change would become...

1
2
5
3
4
6

in this case the 4 becomes 3 and the previous 5 becomes 4 which keeps their relative place in the priority ranking.

I would like this to then resort the table based on this column.

I would like this to execute on the exit of the cell when a cell in the column is changed.

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.

Sorting With Multiple Rows Per Entry

Feb 24, 2006

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#.

Sorting Data That Has Multiple Formats?

Jun 15, 2012

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
86TR
CE-4128B9
ECO CUP22OZ/1000
RED-BRIC889

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.

Sorting Multiple Sets Of Data

Aug 22, 2012

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.

I've uploaded an example of what I'm talking about, I also labeled the tabs as "I want this" and "to look like this":

Sorting Multiple Columns Alphabetically

May 2, 2013

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).

Sorting Info From A WS To Multiple Worksheets

Sep 30, 2009

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.

Display Multiple Rows & Sorting

May 2, 2006

Please ref attached spreadhseet.

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)

"The sort reference is not valid. Make sure that its within the data you want to sort, and the first Sort By box isnt the same or blank."
