Sort Numbers As Text?

May 28, 2013

I have a column of data that contains alphanumeric ID codes, some of which contain no alpha characters (i.e., Excel treats them as numbers). When I do a data sort, Excel puts all the purely numeric codes first, then the alphanumeric codes. I want to sort the numbers among the alpha codes.

Example Excel sort order:
06090
10400
28198
34078
43321
0BKV9
1C7K4
2P776
3BTW3
4U744

Desired sort order:
06090
0BKV9
10400
1C7K4
28198
2P776
34078
3BTW3
43321
4U744

I know there's a way to do this, but I've spent half an hour looking and can't find the answer. And no, manually editing each numeric entry with an apostrophe is not an option.

Sort Mixture Of Numbers And Text Using Numbers And Decimals

Nov 13, 2013

I am looking for a VBA to sort rows which include actual numbers and text representing decomposed CTQs (or procedures in IT development)

Code:

Col A Col B
1Billing Accuracy
2Billing Time
3Credit Check Accuracy
4Credit Check Time
2.1Bill preparation

[Code]....

This is the order in which the data is copied and saved from worksheets in which they are developed. Note that 3 rows (8.1.2.1 through 8.1.2.3) are below 8.1.3 (because the three come from Worksheet 8.1.2 which came after worksheet 8.1). The first four rows came from a Top Level Worksheet. I would like to see them intermixed but in proper order.

Sort Numbers Appended With Text

Aug 17, 2007

I've got data in a table that has am induvidual "job number" assigned to each row, but this job number could have a variation such as 1000A 1000B 1000C but they may not necessarily be one after the other in the table (other job numbers may appear in between) so i need a to macro to remove all job numbers lets say that start with 1000 and paste them and the end of the table. so i end up with consecutive numbers. Can this be done? I've played around with the find funciton to loop through the column and find all relating job numbers then cut the entire row but cant quite seem to get it to work

Sort Numbers Stored As Text Not Working?

Sep 17, 2013

In a spreadsheet I have a text column with entries such as:
2012
10 Times
10.5 Times
101 Times
25 Times
A Pure Text Entry

When I sort by this column I expect to get:
10 Times
10.5 Times
101 Times
2012
25 Times
A Pure Text Entry

Instead I get the 1st order. Why? I've selected 'Sort numbers stored as text' separately so it shouldn't be treating 2012 as a number. Besides I've checked & the cell formatting is Text.

Sort Column With Equal Numbers And Linked Text

Jun 8, 2014

I would like to create a formula that will sort the numbers in column B, there are also equal numbers in this column

The difficult part is that there is text in column A, and is linked to the numbers

So if numbers are sorted the names should be sorted in the same way as well.

Concatenate Text And Numbers And Then Sort On Original Number

Jun 26, 2013

I have a data set that shows numbers for categories over time. I would like to add the data label to the numeric value and then sort the data by the original number. Is this possible?

Here's an example

A 1 2 3 4
B 5 7 4 1
C 8 0 2 1
D 3 4 9 5

I would like each column sorted independently based on the data in that column, but I want the results to have the label from column 1 concatenated with the value in the other columns such as this:

A1 C0 C2 B1
D3 A2 A3 C1
B5 D4 B4 A4
C8 B7 D9 D5

Each column is sorted by the numeric value, but has the name label from column 1 attached to it.

Sort And Separate Numbers Via Macros

Feb 8, 2009

I was able to create a macro to sort two columns in ascending order and then calculating their difference in the 3rd column via a macro, which work only when all the numbers were matching. if there's a mismatch then i had to separate them manually.

I am pretty much new to Macros and was thinking how do i make a macro which would compare the two columns and move the ones to the bottom which do not match?

Sort Library Of Congress Call Numbers

Jul 11, 2006

I'm looking to sort Library of Congress call numbers in Excel. The format of
the cdall numbers is:

Letters Number Period Letter Number

and after that, perhaps more periods, letters and numbers!

The problem seems to be that if I have (sorted):
C3.A40
C25.C25
C124.D45

attempting to sort them as text would list
C124.D45
C25.C25
C3.A40

Which is incorrect. I've been looking at the cell formatting features, and
they seem to only allow me to change how the data is displayed, not how Excel
thinks about the type of data.

Bubble Sort: Comparing Numbers & Letters

Jun 3, 2007

I have 3 departments, each with a value. I want to sort from lowest value to greatest (which I have done) but some departments won't have a value and therefore will have "n/a" in the place of the value. When sorting, "n/a" always comes out as the greatest value but I want "n/a" to be the lowest value - since it means there is no value.

Here is an example of the data:
Depts: Value:
580 15.75
558 19.01
538 n/a

Here is the code (sorting is being done on the value obviously, and the switching of the Depts to stay with the value is also done in the code)

Private Sub RankPerformance()

Dim bytValuesArrayCount As Byte
Dim A As Byte
Dim B As Byte
Dim vTemp As Variant 'must be type since value can be number or string ("n/a")

bytValuesArrayCount = UBound(ValuesArray)

The only way I know to do it is to sort using the above code, then do another type of sort if a value is not numeric then it is placed at the end...but I'm trying to make the code as efficient as possible
