Sort Dynamically By A Variable Column
Oct 6, 2011
I have a worksheet that has a column labeled "Sort Order". It is always the farthest, right-hand column. I also have a macro that sorts and re-numbers the data in that column.
My problem is that I am constantly inserting columns, so the label/count of the actual column to be sorted changes. How do I write the VBA code to automatically determine the last column?

Data manipulation question here: how to dynamically filter and sort a multi-column data set? My end goal is to be able to (1) quickly collapse all columns into one single column, (2) remove all duplicates, and (3) sort the information in ascending order. A reference sheet is attached in case it's useful.

I'm trying to sort by a column with one to four digit numbers, any of which may be followed by a single letter, i.e. 1,2,3 4A,5, 10,11A,75,101A,600,705,1010B,1011A.
I'd like them to sort in the above order. I am only able to have excel 2003 sort all of the numeric cells first, followed by the cells with the alpha character.

In my worksheet cell A1 represents a financial reporting period from 1 to 12. It also represents the number of columns I need to sum in order to arrive at the desired period totals in this income statement worksheet. How can I get Excel to automatically change my SUMPRODUCT function as the value in cell A1 is changed from 1 to 12?
Here is a sample cell formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(MATCH(GL1SHL.XLS!$A$2:$A$332, {"4620","5220"},0))*(GL1SHL.XLS!$CE$2:$CE$332)*(GL1SHL.XLS!$I$2:$T$332))
The above formula represents the totals for period 12 for General Ledger accounts 4620 and 5220.
GL1SHL.XLS! references the workbook that has the financial data exported from my G/L application.
$A$2:$A$332 is the column which contains the G/L account number to be matched.
$CE$2:$CE$332 references a cell that resolves to the value 1 or -1 so that expenses which are exported as positive values become negative.
$I$2:$T$332 represents the 12 columns and 332 rows that contain all the financial data necessary to calculate the income for period 12 with each row representing a different G/L account's 12 periods of financial data. I need a method to dynamically replace the 'T' in $I$2:$T$332 and resolve it based on the value in cell A1. So if A1=1 then 'T' becomes 'I' and if A1=2 then 'T' becomes 'J' etc.
I would like to do this as a macro substitution instead of having to make 12 worksheets, one for each period, or instead of having 12 nested loops.

Is there a way to generically sort all pivot rows of a pivot table alphabetically each time the table is refreshed? I have a pivot table that pulls its data from a dynamic named range on a separate worksheet. As users add data to the range and refresh the pivot table the newly added items appear at the bottom of the table rather than alphabetically. I know how to specifically call out a pivot row and have it sort alphabetically (see code below) but I still want to allow users the flexibility of changing the fields and order of the pivot rows so specifically calling out a pivot row by field name isn’t going to work. I need to somehow add code that says: For each pivot row (1 to n, where n = number of pivot rows) sort each in alphabetical order.
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("ptDWDM").PivotFields("Project Name").AutoSort _
xlAscending, "Project Name"
So in the above code I don’t want the reference to “Project Name” to be hard coded.

Is it possible to declare n variable names dynamically in a macro? For example: Cell A2 in Sheet1 contains the number of variables to be considered in the macro (n). I would like all the variables to take names in the macro from node1 to noden using the dim statement. I tried running a for loop:

I have a worksheet (A) similar to the following:
Jan '12, Feb '12, Mar '12 --> Header Row
-5, 10, 2
6, -2, 3
5, -2, -1
I have another worksheet (B) with the same header Row (Jan '12, Feb '12, Mar '12). I need to create formula in cell A2 on worksheet B (right under Jan '12) that dynamically locates the Jan '12 column in worksheet A and then sums the numbers in that column only if they are < 0.
So in cell A2 on worksheet B (under Jan '12) I'd have -5 (only -5 is < 0), in cell B2 on worksheet B (under Feb '12) I'd have -4 (-2 + -2) and in cell C2 on worksheet B (under Mar '12) I'd have -1.
I've tried several variations of sumproduct, sumif, index, etc. with no luck.

In the attached sample workbook I am trying to add the vendor number down the column H for each PO. I have copied a few of the numbers into the column, (in red), to show the desired result.
Basically, I will have a report daily with a variable number of suppliers, and variable PO's for each supplier. I need to add the vendor # to each row.

So I have exported a canned report showing me payments by day and it is EXACTLY what I need EXCEPT the dates don't repeat (and it has spaces and some headings but those aren't a big issue). Anyway, I need to dynamically fill in these dates for an entire year.
To be clearer, column A starts off with 1/1/2013 and column B has payment amount, column C check number, D invoice number etc.
But the rest of the cells in Column A for 1/1/2013 after the first row are blank until you hit the payments for 1/2/2013. Then 1/2/2013 is listed once and then blank (or junk header data at a page break) until 1/3/2013 and so on. And of course there are different numbers of payments for each day.
I'm looking to dynamically fill in the dates so that I have a real data /flat file that analysis can be run on. I have some ideas ... Could probably incorporate a "do until" statement somehow...

I'm looking for a way to sort dates from several columns into a new single column (perhaps multiple columns if the entry columns become too numerous). I've included an example. There are currently only 4 columns, but there may be as many as 20 in the future, each with 20 dates under each heading. Any blank cells would be eliminated. If I filled a blank with a new date, that date would be placed into the chronological column. So basically, this would take the date from several different categories and create a single calendar of events.

on the syntax of things in VBA. here's a description of what i'm trying to do:
1) loop through a particular column ("N"), and compare the values (if not blank) with corresponding cells in another column ("V"). i.e. - comparing N1 to V1, N2 to V2, etc...
2) run If, ElseIf statements to display appropriate values in different column ("O"), but on the row that corresponds to the row the values in Step 1 are compared. i.e. - if N1 > V1 then cell O1 = value; if N2 > V2 then cell O2 = value; etc...
here's an example (but obviously not in proper syntax). hopefully someone can help me convert it to Excel VBA:
Function CalculateFR()
Dim Col1 As Column = ColumnN
Dim Col2 As Column = ColumnV
Dim Col3 As Column = ColumnO
Dim Cell As Cell
Dim IndexValue As Integer
For Each Cell In Col1
If Col1 > Col 2 Then
IndexValue = 5
Else If Col1 < Col2 Then
IndexValue = 4
End If
Next Cell
If Not IsEmpty(Cell) Then Col3 = IndexValue
End Sub

I have one column of names that has been entered as "first and last name" as one entry and I would like to sort by the last name (the last word in the column). Some of the entries are simply first and last name (e.g. Jane Doe), some are spouses together (e.g. Frank and Elaine Smith) and some contain middle initials (e.g. John Q. and Amy X. Public).

I have column a with the following names in A1:A10 with a corresponding number in B1:B10
Gold 7
Copper 1
Platinum 6
Brass 10
Aluminum 8
Carbon 4
Nickel 5
Iron 2
Titanium 9
Composite 3
I want to sort them from highest to lowest in C1:C10 & D1:D10. This meaning the part with the highest number would fall in C1 and its corresponding value in D1 and so on. Is this possible using a formula?

if it is possible to sort a range by a specific value in a cell in a column within that range. The reason I'm asking is that I would like to sort by street name in an address line, ie:
500 Aldavar Rd
32 564 Hughes Cresc
36 Aldavar Rd
14 263 Fairlane Ave
If these are samples in a column, I would like to sort, and have the following "output":
36 Aldavar Rd
500 Aldavar Rd
14 263 Fairlane Ave
32 564 Hughes Cresc
it is NOT critical that "36 Aldavar" appears before "500 Aldavar" in the output.
