Sorting Excel Alphabetically Maintaining Spaces
Feb 24, 2014
I have data arranged in columns A-F. I am wanting to set it up so those groups are all based on the name in column A:
Name Location Quantity Notes Etc.
Joe Likes bread
Hates butter
Jane
Julio
Column A only takes up one space, while the other columns take up 3-4 spaces on average. I am looking to sort column A alphabetically while maintaing the spaces between so that the info doesn't become jumbled.

I have a spreadsheet with nested subtotals. i need to sort it based on one of the nested subtotals, but maintain the rows that comprise the subtotals, together with the subtotal.
is there a way to do this? I don't want a macro because then the whole project will be done as a macro. this is just a small part of what i am doing.
sample included. my goal is to sort by column F (ABS value) high to low so that rows 8-13 are together and maintain the subtotal and on top, then rows 34-36 are together and maintain the subtotal and are next, etc.
I am in Excel 2007.

I have been looking at Macros that sort worksheets alphabetically, but there are sheets within my workbook that I want to leave static. I have two sheets, names 'Start' and 'Spacer', what I would ideally like to have is a marco that will alphabetically arrange the sheets between these sheets, leaving the others where they are and obviously leaving 'Start' and 'Spacer' at the front and end of the range respectivly!

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 have the following code that sorts each column sperately and it works, but believe this is a long way round and not the best way. I need the columns sorting alphabetically seperately and each has a header row.

I have to import data from an external source(oracle database) to an Excel(2013) table.
Now the data in the staging table in the database keeps refreshing/changing, However in Excel i need the data to come into a new row everytime instead of refreshing the whole table and looking like the staging table in the database. So basically i need to build history in Excel.

I just upgraded to Excel2010 and noticed that if I calculate percentages resulting from other formulas, the result displays as a percentage with 15 decimal places and it ignores the format of the cell. My guess is that since formulas are being used in cells A1,B1, and C1, Excel is ignoring the format. When I hard code the numbers, I obtain the desired result.
Is there a way to change the default of 15 decimal places for formula results involving inputs that use formulas in their own creation? (outside of the Round function in each cell? Within Options?)
The data looks like this:
A1 = formula resulting in 1.76%
B1 = formula resulting in 1.90%
C1 = formula resulting in 1.69%
D1 = C1*B1/A1 resulting in 1.8218147382920100%
The desired result is 1.82%.

I pulled a set of financial statements from a database into Excel. All of the values are hard coded but I would like to make them dynamic, while maintaining the original content. For example, If cell C3 is a revenue figure for 2012 ($1,000) I would like to link it to cell C5, which will be a currency conversion rate (2.0). So I would like cell C3 to read =1000*C5, which would equal 2000, and for cell D3 to equal 2013 sales*D5, etc. I would also like this to go across a specified range so that I can also change operating expenses, taxes, etc over a number of columns (dates) that I define, all linking to the conversion rate for the given year. Having another tab where you link and anchor is an option but I would prefer something in VBA where I can qickly include this functionality with new workbooks that I download.
I am using Excel 2010.

I'm working on a sheet with about 10,000 rows and 8 columns worth of data. Most of them are formatted as 12345,12345,12345,23456 how they are supposed to be, but some of them will have spaces inbetween each sequence, or some even a couple spaces, or spaces at the end. For the most part I can use the replacement function with ", " to "," but some of the double spaces throw it off, and end spaces also. Is there a macro that can just search through the selected cells I pick to just remove all spaces so the data falls back onto the commas?

I am using Excel 2007. I have pasted my code below. It works fine unless it has a space, in which case it inserts %20. In this case, sRange2 = ActiveSheet.Range("E11") will always have a space in it since this is where i store a job's name.
Sub Macro1()
Dim sRange1 As String
Dim sRange2 As String
Dim sRange3 As String
Dim sRange4 As String
Dim sFullPath As String
[code]....

Excel 2007.I have a list of postcodes (UK) which have different lengths of characters (including spaces) from 6-8, however our system seems to add additional spaces inbetween the postcode, so it could have upto 11/12 characters (inc spaces) Below is what could come out:
EH21 6PQ - 1 Space (8 Char)
EH12 9HG - 3 Spaces (10 Char)
E1 8DF - 3 Spaces (8 Char)
LL5 1GH - 2 Spaces (8 Char)
L5 1FG - 1 Space (6 Char)
What I need is a formula to ensure each postcode only has 8 characters by inserting spaces between if there's less than 8 char and trimming if there's more than 8 char
So from the above postcodes the desired results would be:
EH21 6PQ - 1 Space (8 Char) - This would be correct
EH12 9HG - 3 Spaces (10 Char) - Trim off 2 spaces from the middle
E1 8DF - 3 Spaces (8 Char) - This would be correct
LL5 1GH - 2 Spaces (8 Char) - This would be correct
L5 1FG - 1 Space (6 Char) - Insert 2 spaces in the middle

is there a way to reduce spaces between text stings to one space only when there are many spaces? To make it worse, the number of spaces between the text strings vary. I am using Excel 2010.

I have a table where alternate rows are formatted with interiror colorindex 15. Macros will result in 1 or more of the rows in the table being hidden (this can be consequtive rows).
Obviously, when a row is hidden (unless that results in 2 consequtive rows hidden) the alternating row format no longer works (ie either 2 grey rows or 2 nofill rows together)
I am struggling with the code to set the format when a row is hidden. I loop through the table to set format, fine if no row hidden. But when row is hidden everything I try to do to take account of the hidden row results in an endless loop when the hidden row is encountered.

I have a spreadsheet that has tons of entries for revenues and expenses. Some cells on the rows with revenues have a different format than these same cells on the rows with expenses.
The problem is that, when I sort the rows to organize them by date, Excel seems to only organize the values in the cells, screwing up all the formats, mixing the revenues format with the expenses format.
Is there any way to organize the information maintaining each cell's formats?

I have an Excel sheet with a list of data, which is likely to change frequently and has to remain in sorted order.
Requiring that users of the spreadsheet maintain the data in this way (i.e. sort it every time it changes) is a really bad solution and I'd rather not use a macro if I can avoid it (too much stuff can go wrong).
Is there a good way of doing this? At the moment, I've implemented merge-sort within a sheet, which works, but is a heavyweight solution, taking 6 columns per merge-sort iteration (so 60 columns to sort 1024 rows, 96 columns to sort 65536 rows). I could try to compact it, but my head was starting to implode programming it even with as few as 6 columns.
There must be a better way of getting Excel to maintain an automatically sorted list.

Cell A1 could contain either % value (eg 50.0%) or could contain a numeric value (eg 50.0). (It's input is written by a macro that performs a sorting function, hence the mix of % and absolutes).
I need to copy the contents of A1 to cell B1 with a simple formula "=A1"
The problem is that Cell B1 will either show 0.5 or 50.0 depending on whether A1 is a % or number, respectively.
Doesn anyone know how I can output in B1 with the format from A1?

I need to round a number of values to 2 decimal places. Problem is this sometimes results in the total changing as the values after the 2 decimal places make up the remainder. I need to maintain the total. See attached..
Has anyone done this before? Probably something very simple but for some reason it's not coming to me. Well not without vba anyway..
