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.
View 2 RepliesHow 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 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!

Name Location Quantity Notes Etc.
Joe Likes bread

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.
In the attached example file, I have two tabs: options and sets. The options tab is to be populated from a form. The sets tab is to draw data from the options tab to create teaching sets. I have managed to create an array formula that does this for me, but what I would like it to do is sort my resulting list alphabetically. For reasons that I won't go into, I need the data on the sets tab to remain in three columns: First Name, Surname and Form.
This is the array formula I am using at the moment: AliGW - Example.xlsx
I am looking to sort this file by "start date", from oldest to newest start date.
There is 3 groups, each of them is for 1 Student, I don't want the data inside the group files to be sorted, I want the whole groups to be sorted according to there "title" start date (there title is the writing with bold character and thick borders)
My problem raise is that I can not attach each title to its actual block/group.
The result I'm looking for is being able to sort (while groups are all collapsed/minimized) the groups according to there start dates that is shown in the always visible title, once sorted the whole groups will move along with there titles to the right order.
I have set up a 'week of' calendar for a year. This allows users to enter data in a cell for the week. For example, the today would be displayed on the calendar, the 11th.
What I would like is, in a separate tab, to list (in list format) only dates with data entered.
How can I write a formula that checks a cell, and displays the data, but if there is no data, it goes to the next cell (to the right). In the new tab, I would like the data to be listed top to bottom even though the calendar is left to right.
It would also be cool if in a separate column in the new tab to display the date, but im not sure how because the calendar isn't of actual dates, but of a few cells on the top with the month, and the actual number is in the cell.
Right now I have this as a start, but it's not much...
=IF(Category!C11>"",Category!C11,"")
I have attached an image of how the calendar is set up.
I am looking for a better solution working with columns in VBA.
Currently, I refer to columns by their letter or # in my VBA code.
For example:
Columns("AW:AW").FormulaR1C1 = "=+RC[-8]"
I have a scenario where I have to work with a dynamic data source that scrambles columns around (column is not always in the same position on the spreadsheet). Currenct...Also, there may be missing columns or new columns that need to be recognized.
What I would like to do is refer to my columns by header name.
For example (PSUEDO CODE):
If column ("MTD BUD") or ("MTD REV") do not exist Then
Goto ErrorHandler
Else
Columns("MTD REV").FormulaR1C1 = "=+RC[MTD BUD]"
End if
Would the best way to go about something like this be to create an array with column header names that I can run things against? How would this look?
(column headers are always in row 2)
So I want to add some VBA Code that deletes specified columns and then insert Bolded Column headers to the remaining columns. The columns I want deleted are D,F,I,J,K. For simplicity purposes, the column headers would be A,B,C,D,E,F,G.
I tried using Columns("D,F,I,J,K").delete but I kept on getting 13 error.

I want to export some columns of my worksheet to a csv-file. But i don't want to export all of them, i just need for example: Columns B, D and G and inside the csv-file they should be in an different order like G, B, D .
I already thought about using "union" to select the specific columns, but i can't get this to work.
In row 1 I want to have the names of servers, so we would have A C D E
Under each of those I want to have 4 other columns, so A would have on row 2 Start, End, Data, Time, or something like that.
Then B would have under it Start, End, Data, Time
And so on for C D ...
I would then want to sort it by the top level row, so if I had to insert B at the end I could sort it so it would be
A B C D E with all of the Start End Data and Time for the server to be moved along with it's master header.
I tried setting this up but then I went to sort it told me it could only sort if the columns were the same size, so having a merged top level A with four things under it did not work.
I am trying to find min value for a row (product price) within two columns (price lists) and return row one (company name) in third column ( see the attachmet). My first idea was to use “min” and “if” but a problem occur when there are text or zero or none values in the price list. I tried with conditional formatting, offset function, match-index and other methods without success

Can I create a PivotTable with two columns of data for the same Column header?
I have created a PivotTable in Excel 2003 with months for rows and cities for columns. I would like to have TWO columns of data for each city. The two data columns are: Average House Selling Price, and Number of Houses Sold. When I put both of these data fields into the PivotTable Wizard, they are listed below each other so that each Month occupies two rows, but each city occupies one column. I want the two data fields beside each other so that each month only occupies one row, but there are two data columns for each City.
Lets see if I can put this into words.
I am trying to find matches of a specific cell in various columns. Example:
Header 1 -------Header 2----------Header 3
-ABC123-----------abc123--------------abd123
-abd123-----------hjk321---------------hdn234
-Abc123-----------dsd123--------------sds332
If I searched for the value "abc123" I want it to return Headers 1 and 2 in a seperate column. It would not matter if the same value is in one column multiple times
So the results would show me the Column Heading for anything that reads: "abc123", "ABC123", "AbC123", "aBC123"
Is this possible?
I have two columns with team abbreviations, one simply says whether they are AL or NL the other is the result of a search with multiple occurrences of the team name. I need to match the long list with the short and put the column header AL or NL in the adjacent cell.
I'm using Excel 2007
The last formula I tried was =INDEX($AY$1,MATCH(BB2,$AY$2:$AY$15,0),0)
The screen shot actually just part of the sheet copied since the screen shot look like a broken html page Ok I give up. I copy and paste a jpg it turns into code, I copy and paste the spreadsheet and formatting vanishes, I don't have a URL for the picture... I did look at FAQs and didn't find picture rules but I will look again. Meanwhile. . .
It's just six columns of data. The short list is in AY from AY2 : AY15
The long list is in BB from BB2:BB505
The column header "AL" is in AY1 and NL is in AZ1
I have VBA code to perform some actions on data in excel file and then convert all that data into semi-colon separated CSV/text file (code below).
Now, all I want is to add VBA code in the existing macro to find a column header (say, "Application date") and then convert all the dates into YYYY-MM-DD format. The original values in this column don't have a fixed date format.
Code:
Public Sub ExportToCsvFile(FName As String, _
Sep As String, SelectionOnly As Boolean, _
AppendDataOnExistingFile As Boolean)
Dim WholeLine As String Dim FNum As Integer
Dim RowNdx As Long Dim ColNdx As Integer

I want to rearrange(sort asscending) columns based on numerical value in column header string through VBA macro. Please check attachment.

(Output Data )
# A B C D
1 col.1 col.2 col.3 col.4

I am a macro newbie and I think this is beyond me.
I've been trying all morning with no success to make a macro that will copy data from all columns of one workbook containing specified header text to a single column in a different workbook.
So for example, I've got a workbook called coupon barcodes that has multiple tabs for each person redeeming coupons on sheets 2-88 (sheet one can be skipped) and some of the columns are labeled "voucher 1" in cell A4 or B4 or C4 etc. with a list of all the coupon barcodes that customer redeemed below that. I want all of the data from all of the columns in this workbook that have the header "voucher 1" to be copied and pasted into one column (order doesn't matter) also labeled "voucher 1" in another workbook I have open called vouchering database.
There must be a way to do this that is easier than searching the internet all afternoon again
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 14 Replies View RelatedIm 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.
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.
Is there a way to link a header or a portion of a header to a specific cell?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI 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. I have already started the process but manually, and I don't feel like having to do this manually as this is very time consuming considering I am trying to sort the data into ~1927 rows and 5 columns.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need help with either a formula or macro for sorting data into specific columns. I need the entries under the headings Ar,Bj... to be sorted into the correct columns. To add to the problem, the data may not be exactly the same as the heading.

I have a potential of 5 columns of numerical data (simple number entries) which are entered manually in no particular order.
Is there any way of sorting the data so that it is presented in numerical order (smallest to largest) starting with the smallest figure at the start of column 1 up to the largest figure at the end of column 5.

I am trying to 'stagger sort' multiple columns, but am having some difficulties.Ex.
Say A and B are lists of part no and C is data corresponding to column B. I have:
A B C
1 2 .
2 3 ,
4 4 ;
5 7 '
8 9 "
I want:
A B C
1 _ _
2 2 .
_ 3 ,
4 4 ;
5 _ _
_ 7 '
8 _ _
_ 9 "
(the _ are just supposed to be empty place holders, without them I have formatting issues)
Is there a 'quick' way to sort them this way?I am attaching the actual file that I am working with.
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
How do I get the entire range sorted to look like this, without having to do each column individually (hours of work)?:
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
1 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2
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?
