Reversing First And Last Names For Alphabetizing In Column
Dec 14, 2011
I want to simply flip the last name and first name in a column for alphabetical sorting purposes.
The names start in A4 and continue down and look exaclty like the format below including some middle initial or full name:
John Doe - $5,000.00
Jane Doe - $7,000.00
Tommy Chong - $50,000.00
Billy Bong - $25,000.00
Dave T Jones - $5,000.00
Alex Lee Johnson -$100,000.00
I want it to simply swap the first and last name order to look like this:
Doe, John - $5,000.00
Doe, Jane - $7,000.00
Chong, Tommy - $50,000.00
Bong, Billy - $25,000.00
Jones, Dave T - $5,000.00
Johnson, Alex Lee - $100,000.00

I use Excel 2003 & I am trying to design a worksheet to keep track of signs I make & their order numbers. I want the names listed alphabetically. When I add a new name & I arrange the column alphabetically, the columns with the order numbers do not relocate along with the names column.

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.

Is there a way to reverse the order of data in a column - and maintain that same order but in reverse - so the last value in the column becomes the first, the second last value becomes the second, etc.

I'm trying to sort a spreadsheet that has 6 columns with 36 rows total. I want to alphabetize the entire spreadsheet, from A1 to F36 so that A1 is the first of the alphabet and F36 is the last. When I select all the data on the spreadsheet and click sort by ascending, it sorts the columns within themselves instead of within each other.

Over a period of time I entered dozens of worksheets into a very important workbook. Finally, I decided to put them in alphabetical order. I found a method/formula to perform the task on line. I made the suggested entry and it ran for some time. After it finished: the worksheets were in order. but since then Excel has been slow and many times unresponsive.

I have two columns listing about 400 and 500 names respectively.
First Column has names in alphabetical order and the second column is random.
One column has names in this format: Last name, First name
And the other column lists the names as first name and then last name without the comma
I am trying to see if the list of names in one column exists in the other.
Is there a way to see this without changing the format of the names in each column? If so do I have to erase the comma?

I know there is a way to do this, but I can't remember how! I have one cell (actually, thousands of cells) where the first name is listed and then the last name. I want to reverse the text so the last name appears first, and then the first name appears last, in the same cell. That way, I can alphabetize the columns by last name.

Can i take a name that is in "normal" order and change it so that it is in the format of "Lastname, Firstname Middlename" regardless of how many names are represented?
I have used a simple concatenate formula along with some left/right formulas to get this working if every single person in the list has only their first and last name, but I get errors if the person has 3 or more names listed.
So what I want, is a formula that will turn these names:
Carl Johnson
Carl Robert Johnson
Carl Joseph Robert Johnson
into these names:
Johnson, Carl
Johnson, Carl Robert
Johnson, Carl Joseph Robert

I accidentally replaced all my formulas from a format of:
=A1
to:
''''=A1
I would like to return to the original form:
=A1
However the Find/Replace command does not seem to recognize the first single quote.

My colleague copies a date to the clipboard and then pastes it back onto the same spreadsheet. The month and day reverse (01/12/2013 becomes 12/01/2013). This doesn't happen when copying 14/12/2013 (probably because it can't be interpreted two ways) nor when avoiding the clipboard with ctrl-C/ctrl-V.
My working theory is that it's some kind of autotext or formatting function. Is there a way to disable this feature/function/glitch?

Is it possible to take a list that is alphabetized in the following manner--Jones, Mary--, convert it to Mary Jones while also removing the comma after the name?
The =TRIM and =MID formulas that I saw in another thread both seem to convert the text, but they also leave the comma at the end.

I need to create random numbers with 10 columns and 10 rows.
But for each line can not be the number opposite each decade.
79
22
48
70
04
98
09
41
32
56
[Code] ........
see the first line was generated as the number 79, then this same line, can not generate the number 97.
number 22 in this case is OK.
The first line was generated the number 84, then this is not the same line, you can generate the number 48.
The first line was generated the number 07, then this is not the same line, you can generate the number 70.
and so
97
22
84
07
40
98
90
14
23
65

I need to look up the name in E2 in the list in column A and if it matches then lookup name in F2 in list column b, if it matches then the corresponding number in column C is displayed in column G. If neither names are in the 2 columns the words"Not on lists" is displayed in cell in column G.
The other problem is one name is spelled two different ways I want it to look for both spelling before moving on to looking up the second name.
I started with this formula but I'm getting #N/A or "not on list" when they are on the list. I'm using ranges prod_sum is columns AthruC, Last_name is range BthruC. =IF(AND(VLOOKUP(F4,prod_sum,3,0),VLOOKUP(I4,last_name,2,0)),"not on list")

I have a spreadsheet with two columns - one with names, the other with values. In some cases, the values column alongside a name is blank. Is there a formula-driven method (not a pivot table) that could produce a separate list of only the names that have a value in the value column? The formula needs to be dynamic, not produced via a filter.

The following code works to update the target sheet based on matching column names within the source sheet.
However, I would like to bolster this by not only updating based on matching field names, but also the primary key in column A. Meaning the data from the source sheet isn't always in the same order (based on primary keys) as the data in the target sheet. So I want to keep the order of the primary key in the first column and then update matching field names in column B through the last column where the primary keys match between the source and target worksheets.
Sub CopyDataBlocks()
'VARIABLE NAME 'DEFINITION
Dim SourceSheet As Worksheet 'The data to be copied is here

I have a workbook with a collumn full of football championships. As you know there are hundreds of different championships names. And i have a collumn with all of them but some are repeated over and over because this collumn is connected with values of profit/loss in another collumn. For example: Blue Square North (Collumn A1) and in collumn B1 1.75; then Blue Square North (Collum A2) and 2.98 (Collumn B2), and over and over...
So what i need is a formula that retrieves all unique and different names in a range collumn and the puts all the dfferent names in a new collumn (lets say C). Because what i intend to do then is to use vlookup to search for the championships one by one (through collumn C) and count the ones with profit and them loss by the name of each one.
So what i need is a way to retrive a list of the unique names in A and get them in C.

I have a macro that I'm using to check people in based on their name. The only problem is that the names are both First Last; Last, First; some have middle initials and others have Jr, Sr, etc. I know that this can be sorted through using a Regular Expression, but I have no clue how they operate. I've found many an example of Regular Expressions for VBA, but none of them translate into "Proper English".
