I have some data that is 300 rows x 43 columns.
I'd like to sort the 43 colums by using some of the rows. Is this possible using normal excel?
Alternatively is there a simple way to sort the colums in VBA?
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.

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 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

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 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 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.
the data looks omething like this:
category tally sub cat number
A 6 A 3
B 4
C 6
B 9 A 1
B 6
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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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 an issue with some data that I need to sort into several columns. Basically, I have a column that has data listed in each cell like this; A 567 T 1 D3. What I want to be able to do is sort that data into several columns. I am not sure how to do this at all. I have attached my data to be looked at.

How do I sort multiple columns at once? In other words, I have a chart that is a series of 1s and 2s, and I need all of the 1s to drop to the bottom, so that I can do a rudimentary chart in spreadsheet form. My chart has dozens of columns like so:
1 2 1 1 1 2 2 2 2
1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 2
2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 2

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2

I'm managing a World Cup Prediction League and have been trying to create a spreadsheet that will eventually feed in to a league, positioning each player in descending order. However, I would like to use three columns to determine how to position the players.
EG.
Priority 1 - Column D - Total Points (Rank from Highest to Lowest)
(if there are players with equal Total Points in column D, then)
Priority 2 - Column F - Correct Scores (Rank from Highest to Lowest
(if there are still players with equal value after Total Points and Correct Scores, then)
Priority 3 - Column F - Incorrect Scores (Lowest to Highest)
I've tried for hours to work this out but can't. It would save me hours of work each day

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn Column A there are randomly assigned numbers using the RANDBETWEEN function.
In Column B there are three possible values X, Y, and Z.
I want to create a sort order where "X" is always at the top but then the rest of the rows are randomly sorted by column A (Y and Z values are intermixed).
Currently I tried to use a Custom List and the value is "X" to sort first, and then a seconday sort of Column A. The problem is that column B is always sorted by X then Y then Z where I am trying to get the Y and Z values to be randomly intermixed based on the sort of the random numbers in Column A.
I know I can manually do 2 seperate sorts each time, but I would like to save a sort list to the file so I recreate that sort over and over again.

I have to filter data in one column and have it align with data in another column.

All of the image names will be like the first row (1244-?????.jpg) The problem I am running into the text data I am downloading is not matching up with the images. I usually have more images than text and sometimes I will have text that has no corresponding image.

How do I sort multiple columns alphabetically with the last name first, then the first name as the 2nd sorting option?
Here is an example of what I have:
year; first; last
2011 chrisBell
2010 chrisBell
2009 chrisBell
2008 chrisBell
[Code] .......
As you can see, the first names aren't sorted 100% alphabetically. I think issue stems from the years 2001 n-2006 n. I have to use the 2001 n since its a different data than the normal 2001.
The default sorting was by year:
2012
2011
2010
2009
[Code] .......
So I want it to sort by last first, then first name. Then it should sort by the default sort I already had in the left column (years).

I regularly get a sheet that contains about 20 columns. I need to delete about 14 of them, and re-order the columns to a fixed order.
The columns always have the same headers, but are ofter in different positions (so I cannot hardcode the column location).
I have tried using the following, but fail on trying to use the result of the find in the selection afterwards.
I also do not know how to loop this through a list of column names (as I said, the input always has the same column names, and I always have to delete the same columns, and sort the remaining).
Sub Sort_My_Columns()
Cells.Find(What:="name1", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
myRow = ActiveCell.Row
MyCol = ActiveCell.Column
Columns("myRow:myRow").Select
Selection.Cut
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
