I currently have 5 dates listed, and formatted as dates. I update this list so under the 5th date I will add a sixth date. The next thing I want to do is sort these dates from newest to oldest.
Problem #1- It is not sorting these in the correct order. Example:
3-11-08(appears as) 2008-03-11(Written in box up top)
12-5-08
3-17-08
2-25-08
1-13-08
1-10-08
Probelm #2- sometimes the dates will not even give me the option of sorting from newest to oldest.
I've searched the forum prior to posting, but have not found exactly what I need and am not familiar enough with macro code to modify based on an existing post.
Here's what I'd like to do: I have a worksheet with columns "A" through "J" which contain production scheduling information. Column "H" contains an estimated completion date - I need a macro to sort the rows base on the completion dates (in ascending order) when I request the macro to run - I'm attaching the macro to a button control. One concern is, the column contains some excel default dates of 1/0/1900 that I don't want to include in the sort because they should stay at the bottom of the sheet, rather than at the top. Any rows with the 1/0/1900 don't yet contain information, only the default date based on the calculations.
i have dates in column "A"
15/9/13
01/9/13
18/9/13
04/9/13
21/09/13
08/19/13
in column "B" i want the dates to be arranged in accending order using formula not by normal sorting method.

please see the spreadsheet, data are downloaded in bloomberg (I have broken the links already). I have some macro written to perform sort on every column by clicking heading in row 1,
I know excel usually stores the date in a number format but I can't change the date format here since data is downloaded in Bloomberg (I have also asked Bloomberg, format is fixed). But if I select the whole sheet and go to data -> sort, Redemption date as ascending then select "sort anything looks like number as a number", it works. I don't wanna do in this way, I would like the clicking label to sort, so in macro, I think I need to firstly convert the date into an integer then perform the sort, how can I amend the coding to accomodate this?
My dates are sorting as per the image below.How do I get them to sort in chronological order (e.g. 01 January, 02 January etc)

I'm attempting to get a column of due dates to update automatically every time a date changes. The due dates are in B3:B15. There is a header in B3. The day after the actual due date, it is automatically changed to the same day on the next month (showing the next due date). I need the spread sheet to automatically sort the due dates from the closest due at the top, to the furthest due date from today at the bottom. Running it manually, or sorting it manually every time won't work. This is for an elderly couple who are having problems keeping track of everything each month. I just need something that will show them the upcoming bills and how soon they are due when they open the workbook. Anything other than opening the workbook is going to be too complicated. I'm new to macros. I've tried to modify some I've found in other threads, but no luck (lots of error messages). I don't understand it enough yet to figure out what I need to change. I've attached a sample sheet that shows the part of the workbook I'm having trouble with.

In the attached workbook, sorting the dates in column M results in absolutely nothing happening. The dates are formatted as dates (dd/mm/yyyy). The dates in column M are arrived at by adding a number of days (formatted as Number) to another date, the value of which was determined by an array formula. When I retype the actual date into another column and sort that, I get it sorted. Why does the other sort not work? BTW - I actually need to sort column M with column N.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got one very strange column of dates. The dates in the column are in different formats and probably the first thing would be convert them into one format.
They are, like...
04/07/2014 04:50
and
08/24/12 09:46:59
... type cells. The next thing would be sort them in some logical way not just by first number.
Column with dates.xlsx
What I am having now and how far I am, is...
They might be sorted in some way by month and date but not by actual year that is left out completely. It is just total mismatch and doesn't make any sense.
i got 2 sets of data, but the dates are not correlated
For e.g.
3/18/199610 3/18/199613.5
3/19/199610.1253/19/199614
3/20/199610.1253/22/199614
3/21/199610.25 3/25/199614.0625
3/22/199610.25 3/26/199613.25
3/25/199610.25 3/27/199613.1875
3/27/199610.25 3/28/199613.125
3/28/199610.25 3/29/199613.5
3/29/199610.25 4/2/199613.625
4/1/199610.3754/4/199613.8125
as u can see the dates jump here and there
is there anyway that i can sort it out so that the dates would correlate to each other on the same rows?
if its possible, i have like 16 sets of data to correlate, how do i do it?
Based on the table below, I need two tasks.
1. Sort out the data descending for dates
2. Have a way so that I can only retrieve the latest information.
Meaning if I ask for Pen, I should only get a value of X
Similarly for XYZ, I should only get a value of N
Date A B Types
Value 5 Oct Pen X 5 Oct Pencil Y 5 Oct Pencil H 4 Oct Glue
Q 1 Oct
Pen N 27 Sep
Glue T 2 Sep
XYZ N 2 Sep
XYZ X
I have in column A the units, and in B and C the date changes. I want, when I pick a month from the box, that it only picks the IN and OUT date that applies to the month that I picked (per unit). For ex: if I choose Month march, it should show only for unit 19902506 for example: A2 and A5. And not A7 and A11. As March falls in between the Start and End Date. Is that passible? Something with OFFSET? I managed to find the latest known date with the formula =lookup (Column M:N) but Im not sure
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a list of football fixtures that I want to pace in date order. The fixtures are however linked to a grid which has the following formula =IF(FIXTURES!C1="","",FIXTURES!C1 )
so that a zero doesn't appear until a result is actually added. Unfortunately when you sort the fixtures into date order the grid still looks at the original square, NOT the moved one appertaining to the fixture.
I have dates values in 3 columns.
A1 - Header - "Holidays in XXXX'
B1 - Header - "Holidays in YYYY'
C1 - Header - "Leaves by YOU"
A2:B11 have static dates consisting of 10 dates in each column.
C2:C11 - the user may enter any date at any point of time.
I would like to auto-merge the dates in all the 3 columns (A2:C11) in a single column say D2:D31 and then the system should auto-sort the column based on dates in any one order. So as soon as the user enters a value in say cell C2, all the 10+10+1 dates should get sorted.
Also the constraint here is a user may not apply all 10 leaves at in a year. So many of the cells may have blank values.
I have a list in rows where I have a ranking formula =COUNT($G$5:$G$81)-(RANK(G5,$G$5:$G$81)+ COUNTIF($G$5:G5,G5)-1)+1 When I sort the rank, ascending. All of the unique numbers sort ascending, but the non-unique numbers sort descending
ex) 1.751
2.52
3.753

Is it possible to make excel sort ascending or descending but from mid way through alphabet and then loop through the alphabet again. for example. If Cell A1 had "A" in, it would sort as normal.
Cell A1 = A
Cell A2 = B
Cell A3 = C
Cell A4 = D
Cell A5 = E
If Cell A1 had "C" in, it would sort from "C" through the alphabet and then loop to the start of the alphabet as shown below.
Cell A1 = C
Cell A2 = D
Cell A3 = E
Cell A4 = A
Cell A5 = B
As of right now these are the steps i do to sort...i click custom sort choose My data has headers and then i select from the drop down list the word FRNAME.
is there any way i can setup a macro to do this for me? i tried recording the macro but it just is recording me choosing the column FRNAME is in. This does not work for me since FRNAME end up being in different columns all the time but will always be in row 1.
I would like to ask if it is possible to sort a range of row? What I mean is, if I sort like Row 1, the entire block of row 1 will move as well? Like if i have column A to F, then row 1 of column A to F will move together at the same time.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a macro to sort my colums in ascending order the range i need sorted is from A7:F107, it will be sorted with the numbers in the A column ie 1 - 107. sometimes different numbers get added and it has to be sorted in number sequence.
If possible i would also like a macro to protect this range after the sort,
I have an Overview sheet within my workbook that contains info from all other sheets.
What I want to do is when you click on the Sort button in the General sheet it will activate the Overview Sheet and
- first off sort all sheets starting with AJ together, then all sheets starting with CJ together and then all sheets starting with PJ
- then the next thing i want it to do is sort all Ajs by their start dates, sort all CJs by their start dates and the same for all PJs.
Now up until now I was keeping all sheets that began with AJs together in the workbook and so on so I was able to use the following sort function

I am trying to sort a long range of text that is placed horizontally in a spreadsheet. I can do it vertically with the sort function in Excel but it does not seem to work for text that is placed horizontally. Example is as below:
Inventory Accounts Human Resources
I have this massive spreadsheet, with the maximum rows excel will fit on one sheet. In the interest of simplicity, this is what the raw data looks like:
Last First Amount
Jones Jim $1000
Jung Joe $700
White Jon $100
Jones Jim $200
Jones Jan $300
Jung Joe $800
White Jon $200
What I want to do is automatically get excel to group all the same names together. Then I want it to sum all the values for each name, then order by largest total value for each person, then order that by name alphabetically. In other words, the above would look like this after the sort:
Last First Amount
Jung Joe $800
Jung Joe $700
Jones Jim $1000
Jones Jim $200
Jones Jan $300
White Jon $200
White Jon $100
Or, if necessary, there could be sum total rows under each name...although I don't have spare rows, so IDK. I could delete some rows if I had to, but would rather not.
I have a pivot table and and struggling to group these by month as well as to sort thee in escending order.

I have a sheet with a date and the number of months on it which will change. I need the sheet to list the dates in a column for each month automatically: e.g. Two cells contain date “jan07” and the period “10” months. The rows A1 to A10 should have jan07…jan16 listed automatically. If I change then change the number of month to 11 I would like the rows A1 to A11 to update automatically.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a simple chart, which maps the value of an investment fund over time. I wanted to use the new 'Table' feature within Excel 2010 to format and maintain the formulae within the Table, and the 'Header' for the table contains the date, which is not at regular intervals.
If I opt not to use the Table feature, I can create a line-chart with ease, and Excel recognises that the Dates are indeed dates and plots the graph correctly. The minute I convert over to a Table, the Date headers are no longer recognised as dates, and are instead plotted as if they were text, at regular intervals.
I've tried multiplying the Date Headers by 1 to force them back to true Dates, but this still does not work. I've also changed the setting on the horizontal axis to Date axis rather than automatic, but still no joy.
look at the attached file - it was a CSV file. i want to convert the column of dates to say Mar 14 2009 type date. but it only converts some of them.
note some are on the left and some on the right.
I am in strange situation where I have a data with Invoice Dates. These dates are in Text. However, when I convert it into reall excel dates. For some reason the dates do not come right. convert my text dates into excel real dates. I did a lot of google search and apply these three methods but all of these gave me strange result I was not expecting. These are the methods I used and the result of each method.
Method 1 : Using Text to Column Wizard (Excel 2007)
I highlighted invoice column and went into text to column wizard. I clikced on Date button, and selected MDY format. Strangely enough, my result was day, month and year i.e. DMY which does not seem right.
Then I press Control ~ on this data as shown in second view.

2nd Method - Using formula to convert text date to real dates When I used formula, I get the following result. As you can see, formula is converting text dates into different system dates than the first method.Further strange things is when I take these system dates i.e. 4283 and in 2007 excel format use "Short Date" the same system date gets converted into wrong year as shown in the second view.
Inv DateFormulaFormula Result09/22/11=DATE(MID(B2,7,2),MID(B2,1,2),MID(B2,4,2))428308/31/11=DATE(MID(B3,7,2),MID(B3,1,2),MID(B3,4,2))426108/31/11=DATE(MID(B4,7,2),MID(B4,1,2),MID(B4,4,2))426108/31/11=DATE(MID(B5,7,2),MID(B5,1,2),MID(B5,4,2))426108/31/11=DATE(MID(B6,7,2),MID(B6,1,2),MID(B6,4,2))426108/31/11=DATE(MID(B7,7,2),MID(B7,1,2),MID(B7,4,2))4261

Similarly, I tried other methods or copying blanks etch but none seems to convert text dates into real (system dates).
Here is my set up:
A2 to BF2 is a range of dates
A3 to BF3 are sales. Days without sales are 0.00
I want to pick a range of dates and find the number of days without sales between those dates. So, a formula that will look to a start date in A1 and an end date in B2, and then count the number of days that did not have sales between. Index/Match/Countif/Dateif I can't seem to make anything work.
Hi Guys, This has been bugging me for a bit now and I just can't sus it...
I have a sample perpetual calender that I have been modifying to fit my own purpose. The calender part works fine.
I have beside that a column for holidays, etc and then a another column for other events.
When I put the date in the holiday or events columns I would like the date to be highlighted in the calender above (different colour depending on which column it came from).
The formula I have been playing with (no success) is:
=MATCH(DATE($R$2,1,C8),$I$41:$I$65,0) - This is the Formula for the 1st column of dates.
The 2nd formula is similar, just changes the column it tries to draw the MATCH(DATE.... from...
Although this formula works fine on the sample spreadsheet. When I enter the formula on my sheet, it doesn't seem to work...
I have attached the spread sheet that I am working on.
