Sorting Rows With A Combination Of Text And Number?
Aug 3, 2013I'm currently trying to make a sort macro that sorts a row of data that has a combination of numerical data and the text entry "N.A."
e.g.:
My field:
1
2
N.A
4
5
N.A
9
I want to sort the cells by descending value. But the result appears as:
My field:
N.A
N.A
9
5
4
2
1
But I want to numbers to appear first and have the "N.A."s to be after the number, since I have about 100 columns and some rows have like 30 N.A., which is pretty bad for usability if all that appears in the first screen are "N.A."
EDIT: by the way by ascending the data is fine since it orders by smallest number to largest and THEN the "N.A."
Sorting Starts With A Number
Jan 10, 2008I have data that I am trying to sort that starts with a number and contains a number within, then sometimes ends with a letter. Here is the dataset I will use as example.
1-TP-2
1-TP-4A
1-TP-11A
1-TP-12
13-TP-22A
13-TP-22B
13-TP-102
13-TP-103A
13-TP-103B
Excel wants to sort as:
1-TP-11A
1-TP-12
1-TP-2
1-TP-4A
13-TP-102
13-TP-103A
13-TP-103B
13-TP-22A
13-TP-22B
Is there a formula that I can use to sort the data in numerical order by the last digits exactly like the first dataset? There are all sorts of veriations of the first digits and the last, but the "-TP-" always remains constant.
Sorting Number/letter Combos
Mar 11, 2009I have a spreadsheet with information in columns a-x. In column A there are part numbers like: RH630-34, PH630-343, 6-255, 16-01, 72500, There are may combinations of just numbers, and numbers first letters second, and letter first number second.
All usually seperated by a hyphen. The entire spreadsheet will be sorted by Column A first.
I need to sort them so the order would be numbers first and combo with number letters next. finish product: 6-255, 16-01, 72500, PH630-343, RH630-34. Is this possible? I have seen other posts and suggesting putting spaces before the numbers. That seems to work but in the case of 6-138 and 6-1038 the 6-1038 is first

View 4 Replies View RelatedText Files Sorting
Jun 23, 2008What I have is a bunch of text files and 2 spreadsheets that sort the text files. I’m not sure but I think there might be a better way but the problem is I don’t know VB all that well. Can someone take some time and look over this stuff and let me know if there is actually a better way to make this happen. I also noticed that there are 2 txt file missing and not added in the sorted file (PS3_HIGH, PS3_URGENT)
The text files come from another network and are transferred manually every day to a folder. The purpose of the .xls files is so that someone can look at the counts and try to lower the numbers from day to day. If something is alarming frequently, the current files do not put that information together well. The numbers are still important, but is there a better way to do this sort in excel?

VBA Code For Sorting Text
Mar 16, 2009I have a column of over 1000 cells with context in it. Each cell as a keyword in parathesis associated with the context. Therefore, different context are associated with the same keyword. However, the cells with the same keywords are spread out all over the 1000 cells.
Example:
cell1: anti-lock brake system (abs)
cell2: baromic pressure (Baro)
cell3: anti brake systematic (abs)
...
Basic solution:
I need to create a vba code that would look through the 1000 cells for a specific keyword and copy all the cells having that keyword in parathesis into another spreadsheet or column, so I can look through them easily. so if i look for (abs) it will give me:
cell1: anti-lock brake system (abs)
cell3: anti brake systematic (abs)
...
Ultimate solution:
The VBA code would be "smart" enough to copy all 1000 cells in keywords order. It would give me all possibilities:
cell1: anti-lock brake system (abs)
cell3: anti brake systematic (abs)
cell2: baromic pressure(Baro)
...
Sorting Mixed Text And Numbers?
Jun 17, 2014A column holds numbers and numbers with suffixes. The conventional sort function pushes the text values to the bottom. I need them sorted along with the numbers.
Microsoft's KB says to add a column formatted as text and then to RETYPE ALL OF THE VALUES! Splendid. But my file has hundreds of records. Re-typing all of them would be a major pain. On the other hand, if I had started typing while trying to find a way to sort the darn thing I might be done by now.
Here's what I know so far: If we create a column, format it as text and then populate with 1, 2, 3, 4, 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, etc. it will sort exactly correct (1, 1a, 2, 2a...) after selecting the "sort numbers and numbers stored as text separately" when the Sort Warning appears. If you try to create the sample I typed here, you need to be careful that the area is formatted as text BEFORE entering the text. You apparently cannot change the format of an existing column of data to Text or if you do it does not have the desired effect when sorting. It might be useful to know if this can be done too. MS suggests not.

Excel 2010 :: Sorting Or Counting Based On Text Colour
Sep 10, 2013I have a database of names in one column in excel 2010 and over time I have coloured the text of some of the names green to show that they have been added to a new online database. I want to be able to count how many of the names have been coloured so I can see if it matches with the total number already added on to the online database. I have over 800 entries so I don't want to have to manually count them unless I find I have missed any. Conditional Formatting is greyed out (it is a Shared document so that might be why).
in creating an IF (text is a certain colour) THEN 1, 0 or any others ways I can find the total in that colour. I only have two text colours in my spread sheet, black and light green.
