Sorting Columns And Keep Information In Rows Intact
May 26, 2009
I am trying to sort/filter the information by columns but I need the information in each row to stay together for instance...
1 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5 1
3 4 5 1 2
4 5 1 2 3
5 1 2 3 4
I need to sort the numbers in column 3 in ascending order or filter them but i need the entire row to move when sorted so it needs to look like this
4 5 1 2 3
5 1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5 1
3 4 5 1 2
I am using the list function to sort and filter the data in the columns but when i try to sort them in ascending order i get....
1 2 1 4 5
2 3 2 5 1
3 4 3 1 2
4 5 4 2 3
5 1 5 3 4
I don't know how to write formulas or VBA's or anything but am willing to try.
Is it possible to sort the data and get a result like the second set of data? and is there an easy way to make this fool proof so people that use the spreadsheet will not mess up the data?
I was given a spreadsheet this morning for sorting and am a little lost. I've attached a sample. I'd like to sort the spreadsheet from high to low in terms of gift amount. The problem is that if I sort the Gift Amount column, all of the surrounding information gets sorted as well, messing up the layout. I know I'm missing something here. Is there any way to tell Excel that if it sorts something, sort the surrounding data as it is? Maybe by giving it a range name?
I have a spreadsheet that contains overtime information for employees. Basically, it has a list of names in column A, and a list of projects in the first row, similar to this:
Name 100323 100887 100987 100987 Sum
[Code]....
At the top of the page I've inserted a section similar to this:
Name Project Number # Of Hours
SMITH, John 100883 5
Where the name and project number are drop down data validation lists containing all of the project numbers and employees at our facility, and the # of hours section is just a manual entry.
I require a macro that, upon clicking a button, will verify that the name is in the list and insert a row if there isn't as well as verify the project is in the row and insert a column it isn't.. then it will add the number of hours i specified in the box. It would also be nice if the list of names would sort alphabetically and the project numbers would sort numerically from left to right after any additions. As well as clear the selections and # of hours I entered in the second table shown above once everything has been entered in to the main (first) table.
I'm pretty new to creating my own macros (even though im an engineer.. )
I'm trying to sort by City first, then by Report #, but keeping the highlighted rows together. If I use the custom sort it will through my D2's at the bottom and not keep them with their city, report, and D1. How do I get them to stay together? I have attached my document example.
I have a worksheet with columns of Unique Words and corresponding Frequency of Occurrence for several years. I would like to sort the data so the rows match up on same Unique Words across years.
I have hundreds of rows of data which I need to sort into headings in a new tab.
E.g Column D has about 40 names which occur many times. Column G has 4 digit numbers which are unique.
I want to create in a new tab a column for each of these 40 names, using that name as the heading and then list the 4 digit numbers unders that heading. So if the name name "John" appears 20 times in Column D, it will get a heading in the new sheet and there will be 20 unique numbers listed below it from the data in Column G.
I have been trying to sort an excel spreadsheet to no avail. I have read mutliple posts and searched online but I can not find a solution. This is what I have. I have three columns of data. column A is an account name. column b has some insurance coverage info and may have multiple rows that go with column A. Column C has the effective date of the coverages in column B. I want to sort column A in alphabetical order but when I have tried it does not keep column B and C together with column A.
Column A Column B Column C company 1 General Liab 5/1/14-15 Workers Comp 2/1/13-14
company 2 workers comp 2/1/13-14
company 3 crime 5/5/14-15 D&O 5/5/14-15 Fee 4/15/14-15
I have a single spreadsheet with a few columns but hundreds of rows. Each row is a property reference (with other data such as address in the columns) with a type of charge in column J and the amount in column K. I'll try to replicate below ...
A B ....... J K Prop1 Prop1Address Rent 100 Prop2 Prop2Address Rent 150 Prop3 Prop3Address Gas 70 Prop4 Prop4Address Water 60 Prop4 Prop4Address Rent 200 Prop4 Prop4Address Elec 80 Prop5 Prop5Address Service 90
I want the sheet to display a property on a single row so would look like as follows ...
A B ....... Rent Gas Water Elec Service Total Prop1 Prop1Address 100 100 Prop2 Prop2Address 150 150 Prop3 Prop3Address 70 70 Prop4 Prop4Address 200 60 80 340 Prop5 Prop5Address 90 90
I am needing to sort individual rows horizonally (by columns) - sound simply enough, but apparently its not (unless I'm overlooking something really basic). For example, I need to sort each row (2 - 300) beginning in column B and ending in column P individually. I can do this - one at a time - using Excel's sort function, but its time consuming and this is something I need to be able to do on a regular basis.
I realize that the easier resolve to this request is to use Access & we are moving to that application.
I have included a worksheet as an example.
We have a 'work in progress' (WIP) worksheet that contains 12 rows of data per job. Need to know how (or if) you can sort by the "Job #:" value while maintaining the group of information necessary for each individual job.
Not a normal sort because the values aren't entered in typical side-by-side row & column format.
I have a feeling the answer to this will be 'no' based on the searching I've done, but is it possible to allow formatting of rows/columns on a protected worksheet, yet prevent the user from unhiding some rows/columns I don't want them to see? I've allowed them to format rows/columns so they can "size" them to fit the text they enter, but that has opened up the ability for them to unhide columns. Using Shrink To Fit would be cumbersome due to the number of cells involved.
I have created a spreadsheet which is tallying up various data. I have a number of different categories e.g. A, B, C, D and within each one of these are sub categories. I then have a tally for the number of each category and within that the number of each sub category. I then want to sort the data so that first the main category is sorted in order of highest tally to lowest. the sub categories however need to stay with their primary category. I then need to sort each sub category within the main category.
I have found a list of newspaper in an excel file and at the end of the text it is written the name of the language e.g Bangladesh News 24 (Dhaka) [In Bangla], The Bangladesh Monitor [In English]. I would like to distinguish the names ended with [In Bangla] and in [In English]. How can i distinguish this two different type of data with VBA?
I am using Microsoft Excel 2003. I put color in my cells to show contrast with the information in my data list. I used blue and white for my cell colors. When I used sort to put my information in alphabetical order it did not only rearrange the information, it also rearranged the colored cells. My orginal pattern (before using sort) was blue, white, blue, white, blue, white. After I used sort, the pattern was changed to white, white, blue, white, blue, blue. Is there any way I can use sort to arrange my information only in alphabetical order, using sort, without rearranging the color of the cells?
I downloaded a massive dataset in .csv format to work with. My first problem is that I'm having trouble sorting the dataset. When I open the .csv-file every bit of information comes up in the A-column instead of having INFORMATION1 in the A-column INFORMATION2 in the B-column and so on.
I have 2 workbooks (workbook1 & workbook2). Information in column A and column N must match both workbooks per row/ cell (ie. if A2 and N2 in workbook1 match workbook2, copy information from 3 other columns (S, T, U from from workbook1 into workbook2 - cells S2, T2, U2). Workbook2 may have information in column S, T, U, but I need to over-write it with the information from workbook1. If the information does not match per that row/cell (ie. A2 in both worksheets are the same, but N2, they are not, so go to the next line that does match and copy the information into worksheet2). I do not want to use a V- lookup for this problem. I really need a marco.
Problem: String is broken into 2 parts within a delimeter. Goal: To keep each String/Segment intact regardless of Alpha/Numeric.
I have a .csv file with 26 segments (commas). This file contains customer data: PO#, Order#, Carton ID, Address 1, Address 2, Address 3, etc.
I've written code to capture all 26 segments as: Input #1, Seg1, Seg2, ... ,Seg26. The variables work fine until it encounter a string with Numeric first then Alpha within the same segment.
For this example we have a string such as (...,187 Main Street, PO Box 369,...) Seg4 = Address Seg5 = PO Box
The Segment Variables in Input #1, get shifted when it encounters the numeric portion of the address...so the result becomes: Segment4 = 187 Segment5 = Main Street Segment 6 = PO Box 369.
So on my next loop when ReadLine is executed...all the variables are shifted and I can't focus on the specific segment that I need to do something to it.
It delimits when it encounters Numeric then Alpha within the string, but accepts the entire string into the variable when its Alpha then Numeric within a delimeter.
How I can keep the entire string in tact within each delimeter?
Is there any way users can cut and paste while keeping the Conditional Formatting of the source cells intact? It is the same as copy-paste and then delete the source cell contents after copying.
I maintain an excel application for a local theatre group using alot of vba actioned by buttons on worksheets. I regularly email the application back and forth between the treasurer and myself and I have noticed that the process of doing this often seems to result in the buttons losing their reference to the code I've assigned to them.
why this happens (is it a bug?) and how to make the linkage more robust? Can I link the buttons and code using vba so that I could establish all the links when the workbook is open?
Creating email drafts with the use of VBA in excel.
I've used some of his code to create an email draft to send a particular range within my excel spreadsheet. The trouble I'm having with it is keeping the hyperlinks within each cell in the range which will take the user to a particular website. How do I keep this formatting when the range is copied into the body of the email.
Example Cell A10 = HYPERLINK("URL","Google")
The hyperlinks are lost. How to keep these? Here is the code
Sub Mail_Selection_Range_Outlook_Body() Dim rng As Range Dim OutApp As Object Dim OutMail As Object
Set rng = Nothing On Error Resume Next Set rng = Range("EmailRange")
i have data in worksheet 2, a table with formulas using worksheet 2 in worksheet 1, i need to move the data in worksheet 2 to another worksheet, but if i use cut or copy and paste the formulas do not track its movement, so how do i move the data to another worksheet so the formulas know where it went? i thought if you could select the data and drag the data straight into another worksheet but how?
I am trying to create an interactive Price List / Quote Form. I have 1 tab (price list) that contains all data arrays. I have 1 tab (Items) that correctly calls avalable quantities based on a validation list and then Vlookup populates the formulas with the correct pricing & notes based on the quantity. I would like on the cover/quote page to have a drop down (in cells B23-30) where someone can choose a product based on the list, and then have the collums C,D & F populate with the rest of th information:
Column C with quantities for that product Column D with pricing based on that quanity Column F with notes for that quantity
Column E will calculate total based on simple math
I am unsure if this was answered already but I am having a lot of trouble. I am trying to find out if it is possible to count the number of entries in one column if it meets criteria in another comlumn?
Here is my problem: I work for a contractor and I am trying to find out the number of contracts sold(column J) by Mike (Column K). I have tried =COUNTIFS functions but these dont work. I know if I create 4 other columns with IF functions I can get the information but I have to imagine there is another way.
Is there a code or some way for me to sort 4 columns together? I want to sort a list of employees and for each employee theres a column with their Lost Business, customer satisfaction, and two more columns. I want to sort all the columns at the same time so that the best employees overall will go to the top of the list and the worst ones will be at the bottom. Whenever I use the sorting feature it does each column independant of the others so everytime I sort a new column it just moves around the last one I sorted.
Im not entirely sure about this but it seems like if I have data in columns A - Z and sort in one of them, the data in Columns AA - AZ does not move accordingly rather it stays fixed.
I have a spreadsheet that is populated my Concatinating data from other worksheets. Some of the results are numbers, some is data while others are blank spaces and othersare set by the concactenating default of "" when the criteria is not met. I need to sort these colums. However it seems that the default "" from the formula is not a BLANK or a ZERO or an empty cell.
Those cells will place themselves at the top of the sort. I need to eliniate them. I have copied and pasted as values but that has no effect. Ironically I can identify the cells with an if statement so what I need help with is generating a macro that will cycle thru the range of results and delete the approriate cells.
I have tried the following:
lr = Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row ' Last Row lc = Range("A1").End(xlToRight).Column ' Last Column For Each cell In Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(lc, lr)) cell.Select AC = ActiveCell If AC = "" Then Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp Next
But this does not work as it cycles top to bottom and leaves behind 1/2 the problem cells.
I have two very long columns of client names. The columns represent reports that were run at different times on the same information.
What I want to do is merge the two clomuns. The issue is that there are many names that are the same but some that are different. Is there a way that you can merge the info. So it ignores the client names that are the same but auto adds the ones that are new. There are financials in other columns that I want to have come along during the merger.
I have the following code below, im not sure how to modify it to make it only search 2 columns of information, how can do this?
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click() Dim StrFindWhat As Range Dim NextCell As Range Dim WhatToFind As Variant
WhatToFind = Application.InputBox("Please enter the Application or Service you want to search for?", "Search", , 500, 80, , , 2) If WhatToFind "" And Not WhatToFind = False Then For Each oSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets oSheet.Activate oSheet.[b4].Activate.....................
