VBA Code For Sorting Text
Mar 16, 2009
I 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)
...

I am wondering if a block of code can be used rather than having to enter line by line as the following code is below? Also if the select is necessary?
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+S
'
Range("N135:V135").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("N135"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess _
, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlLeftToRight, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
Range("N142:V142").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("N142"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess _
, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlLeftToRight, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End Sub

Im trying to sort items in two list boxes on a userform. I found some customizable sorting code online here:
[URL]....
But I'm not having any success with it.
I copied the 'Sub SortListBox' code and added it to the bottom of the Code for the Userform.
I then added the following lines to the Userform Initialize procedure:
Run "SortListBox", lbUnitList, 0, 1, 1
Run "SortListBox", lbPOList, 0, 2, 1
This should Sort lbUnitList Alphabetically by Column 1, and sort lbPOList Numerically by Column 1.
However as soon as I add those lines to the Initialize procedure it prevents the userform from opening. No Error message is displayed, it just won't load.
I have attached my workbook. The Userform is called ActiveEquipment.

I need to create a table with the top 14 'ReNo' for each code listed in columns F1-R1. These need to be in chronological order. Also if the code is part of the latest date then that first ReNo. needs to be ignored (since it will not have completed its cycle).
getting to the formula I have but I can't get it to sort in these ways, so as it is its not working right.

how I would add in code to sort the worksheets from A-Z. Also, Ideally, I would like to hide the template sheet that the new records are copied from. Is it possible to add code that would unhide the resulting worksheet once it is copied and renamed? I am learning loads from this forum, so thank you once again. Here is the code in it's current state:

I have an auto generated report that is exported into .csv, my dilemma is that it sorts both the account code and the date in the same column, like this:
9884A B Gerrish Ltd Å“ 577.270577.270
30/09/201231/10/20121865518655277.010277.01MAL/553260
30/09/201231/10/20121884218842264.260264.26MAL/553259
30/11/201231/12/2012195541955436036MEL/549200
so "9884" and "30/09/2012" are in the same column.
Some how i need to turn this information to say the below three invoices are for account 9884, into more of a usuable data like:
9884 A B Gerrish Ltd 30/09/2012 etc etc.
Obviously through out the document this repeats for each account, upto some 1000 accounts.

I have a list of 2,000 plus numbers and the list contains numbers and text. When I sort or filter, the only option is sort A to Z (or Z to A), but the result is all of the numbers are sorted, then the numbers with letters are sorted. How can I sort both? I attached a excel example of what I am looking for.

What 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?

I have numbers like this and their sorting wrong. I want to sort in decending order by last digit to the right.
How it's sorting now: (sorting by first number sequence)
12/31/05a
12/31/05
11/01/06
10/31/06
I would like it to sort like this:
11/01/06
10/31/06
12/31/05a
12/31/05
These WERE text numbers that were formulated to read like dates. Is there any way to munipulate how to sort? I'm just looking to sort it like it was a date. I get text files in formats like this:
09062006 and I formulated them to read 09/06/06 like it would be a date.

6 Group discussed Gardens Upkeep We were mostly in agreement

For each meeting attendee (row) they will give their answer to the question (A1).
Some will write no answer, some 1 answer, some 2 answers.
I need to list these answers in another sheet on seperate rows, thus seperate cells, in one column. Without having a gap between each of the answers on that sheet.
I have been wracking my brains and came upon this site searching via that best loved search engine we all know.
I would be very greatful if anyone could help me here.
I'll be watching this closely, nothing else to do.
so I'll be giving quick replies.

A 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.

I have a series of identification values that begin with text and end with a number. The trouble with sorting on this field only affects where the the first 9 entries end up since the number portion is not prefixed with a zero. Is there a way to sort these numbers so that ID2 (and not ID10) follows ID1?
ID1
ID2
ID3

I'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."

I need to custom sort a column. I have 3 different types of data in the column. First - multiple dates, Second - "TBA", and Third - "ASAP". What I need is when the column is sorted the "ASAP" rows will be first, the dates (sorted) will be next and finally the "TBA"s. I have been trying to use a custom list.

I have a sheet named: tool
In this sheet I have a long list of data that i would like to have sorted out on different worksheets that needs to be created by the macro. The deciding factor for the sorting are found colum B. In this colum there are different text strings. I would like for the macro to look at this text string and copy the entire line over to the respective work sheet. the work sheet needs to be named according to the text string in colom b.
Furthermore in the sheet named tool the first 3 lines are headings and i would like all of these transfered to each of the new sheets.

I 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.
