I have an issue sorting values. i can get the numbers together and sorted, but want to keep a name associated with the values being sorted. so when the values are sorted, and they change the name associated with each value moves with it. Its acutally a first-tenth place in a nba fantasy league.
View 7 RepliesI have a long list of names in Column A sorted alphabetcially. I dont know how long the list is.
I wish to find the start and end row numbers of names that begin with a specific letter, for example if the letter is B I want the first row number that starts with B and the row number that ends with B. Assuming the letter I want to use is in C1, here is what I came up with:
I know how to reference cells from one sheet to another but for some reason I cannot for the life of me work out how to do this and that particular figure remains even after sorting sheets? Basically every time I reference some numbers its fine but when I sort the original sheet being referenced the figures are all wrong. I tried linking the cells and that didn't do it either?

Right now I have implemented to sort Descending . Now how will I check in which order does it sorted?
If know the order in which it is sorted currently then I will sort it in the opposite way..
I have a data set of about 600 records. I want to be able to extract the Top 10% of the records and get rid of the other 90% - the values can change over time, so I always want to start with the full 600 records.
I am aware of the conditional formatting function that will identify the Top 10%, but I was looking for VBA language (does not have to be VBA - just automated), that calculated the 10% subset and either moved it to a different sheet, OR deleted the bottom 90% - in either instance the result being just the list of the top 10% of the data set.
I have a list of entries on one sheet. This sheet contains part numbers in random order. I would like to draw out the part numbers onto a new sheet, with no repeats and in numerical order. I want this to be done automatically without using a sort command. Also, I would like to avoid VBA if possible.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to run a macro after a worksheet is sorted (after sort event)?
Scenario: I have a several hyperlinks that use defined names to jump to locations throughout a worksheet. When the sheet is sorted the defined names don't update to the new cell locations (Microsoft KB 58245). I've written a subroutine that fixes the defined names but I don't know how to have the fix run automatically.
I prefer not to use Worksheet_Change without other conditions to prevent a lot of unnecessary calls to repair subroutine.
Explaination of Data:
I have 2 Columns in the "RawData" sheet in the file attached. One says the Campaign No, and the other says the Site Code. One Campaign, will always never have duplicate Site Code.
I want to organize the data in the following fashion (as seen in the "Format" Sheet). I wish to acquire the trends of grouping of Site Codes, meaning which site (by Site code) is sold together, to understand the hottest combinations.
The idea is to see which Site Code sells more with a particular Campaign.
As you can see in the attached file, I'd like to know how many times a particular Sites (by Site Code) was sold with the other. As you can imagine, I have about 300 Campaigns, but have about 1500 different Sites codes to deal with, this activity will save me hours of time.

I have data in a spreadsheet that need to be re sorted. Here is the data:
Name Address Address Address Phone
XYZ 123 Main NA WI, 12345 123-123-1234
ABC 123 South NA AZ, 1111 456-456-4567
is there a way (i.e marco) that can reorder this info to look like this?
XYZ
123 Main
NA
WA, 12345
123-123-1234
ABC
123 South
NA
AZ, 1111
456-45-4567
Is there any way to determine whether a column is sorted? Like a property of a column like ".ascending" true or false?

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.
I have data that I need to be dynamically sorted in the highlighted manner. The values on the selection criteria are dynamic.

I have been struggling to figure this out for several days now and i don't really know where to go from here.
I have 2 columns and i need to break them up at certain points.
The attached excel file should hopefully be clear enough to show what i mean.
The first tab is how the data starts the second tab is how i want it to look.
To clarify i need to break it after each change in the first column. ie from 1 to 2.
Furthermore, i need to break the "sub groups" the second column up after 15, and 30. I will never have a number larger than 32 in the second column.
I think the excel file will clear up what i mean.
if i have a column of number that is not sorted(it cannot be sorted due to other requirements), is it possible to find the cell that reflects the nearest number that i want to look up?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a list of strings as such
A1: A
A2: B
A3: D
A4: E
How can I check to see if this range is sorted with vba?
I have searched but havent found anything for strings.
I can only think of adding each cell to an array, creating a copy array, sorting the copy array and then comparing the two arrays. I want it to return TRUE, FALSE or 1, 0
When clicking on the sorting button of filtered data near the top of a field, I can select different things to show or not show. In a date field, it starts to arrange things by year, which can be expanded to months, which can further expand to show individual days. All well and good.
But many of my dates do not show up in the year categories. They are instead shown below the years as individual dates. Furthermore, sorting the date field in question is imperfect for these dates. Here is an example where some dates from april are jammed inbetween others:
4/2/20124/2/20124/2/20124/2/20124/20/20124/20/20124/20/20124/20/20124/20/2012
...
4/27/20124/27/20124/27/20124/27/20124/3/20124/3/20124/3/2012
These jammed dates are some of the same ones that are orphaned outside the year groupings. All the dates have the same date cell type. No other filters are applied.
I am getting a debugging error when I try to highlight the first row of a column that is sorted. the error occurs on the "if .autofiltermode then" line. the code does highlighting like I want but is giving me a run time error.

I have a matrix of mixed numbers (going across many columns and rows) in Sheet1. They are a mix of positive and negative numbers, In Sheet2 I need 2 lists to be automatically displayed, taken from the data in Sheet1.
The first list (column) is for positive numbers only, the second is for negative numbers.
There is one filter: only numbers over a specified value (for the positive list) must be used from the data, and only numbers under a specified value (for the negative list) must be used from the data. The 2 filters can be stored in any cells in Sheet2 (the worksheet where the lists will be), lets say, for ease of use, A1 and B1.
But here's the tricky part: I need the location reference of each number in the matrix displayed next to the number in the list!!! Eg: in the matrix, I have names running down the left (A2 to A25) and the same names in the same order running across the top (B1 to Y1) - just like any basic matrix! If A6 is called "John" and L1 is called "Pete" and their value (at cell L6) is 10, then I need them to be displayed in the "positive list" amongst the others (sorted automatically into numerical order) with the words "John" in the cell to the right of the score, and "Pete" in the one after that to the right: so it will look like:
A2 B2 C2
10 John Pete
(remember that these 2 lists are on Sheet2, not on the matrix worsheet! A1 and B1 contain the 2 filters for the positive and negative lists).
Of course, this must only happen if the filter in A1 (the positive filter) is 10 or under. If it was anything above 10, then this one would not make the list.
As for duplicates in the matrix coming up twice in the lists, that's not a problem this wont matter! It's ok for the lists to have constant duplicates displayed eg: 10 John Pete will also have next to it 10 Pete John.
How do I split a worksheet by sorted ranges and then save each range as a new workbook?
For example:
How would I split the data on the left into the ranges on the right of the image below?
I Currently have some VBA sourced through here which adds to the end of the first instance of a value in column A the values in column's B and C and repeats adding values in new cells for B and C until the value in column A changes.
Now I need to transfer this sorted data to another worksheet (destination.xls) and add it by the reference number in column A to the end of the row with the same reference number.
I have experimented with vlookup with limited success and am looking for a more robust solution.
The data from the spreadsheet called source.xls appears starting in column EE. This will be the same starting position for all rows I have coloured the data for ease of recognition purposes only.
I have attached 2 sheets as examples of what I am trying to achieve.
I am currently using a pivot to return and populate the required data but this does not refresh correctly and returns zero values every time this report is refreshed. I am therefore hoping that there is a way to calculate this using formulas .
The following applies:
The attached document has 2 tabs: Date AND Report
The Data tab feeds the report tab
The REPORT tab has 2 reports in it but doing the first one then I should be able to do the second one. If you look at the first table you will see the data that needs to be populated. I have added a highlighted (in YELLOW) row at the bottom of this table which shows you which columns populate what column
Requirement:
I am after something that will populate this table in a descending order - IE: the figures in the DATA tab Column BE should be sorted from highest to lowest. It must be filtered to the top 30 results only and then all the other columns must be populated.
Column H in the REPORT tab should be formatted to [h]:mm
Column F & G in the REPORT tab should be formatted to dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm
I am looking for a way to get a weighted average to work without the need of helper columns, when my weights are stored in one range, and the actual values are stored in another range, but might not be sorted in the same fashion.
For example; range 1 might be:
Weight
Homework 120%
Pre-Exam 30%
Exam 50%
But the range for student's scores might be in a slightly different order:
Scores
Exam 90
Pre-Exam 72
Homework 1 81
(Note that this is a greatly simplified example and that just resorting would be impractical).
I am trying to reference a cell in sheet All Employees in sheet Brock. This is an employee training database.
Currently there is no data in the cell I want to reference (B9).
When I use the formula ='all employees'!b9 the cell in the brock sheet shows "january 00 00" even when the referenced cell is empty. This problem is eliminated if I formate the Brock cell to General. It then displays a zero.
However, the cell in the All Employees Sheet is going to be a date. If I format the Brock cell to general, when I enter a date in All Employees, it gives a large number, not a date. This problem is eliminated by changing the formating of the Brock cell to Date.
What I would like to do is be able to type the date in the All Employees sheet and have it magically transfer to the Brock sheet without any additional work. I would like the brock sheet to be printable, and with January 00 00 written all over it, not only is it messy but its incorrect.
I have a Master sheet with data on it that corresponds with multiple sheets in the same workbook that I have links to in the Master sheet. It all works fine until I sort the Master and then my links start sending me to the wrong worksheet.
Is it just the nature of hyperlinks that you can't sort, or is something else going on here?
I've setup a macro button to sort some stockpile items from A-Z so entering quantity on hand can be done more easily. Each cell is a drop-down selection so at various times, there can be different stockpile items in the list, thus why, I setup a macro to quickly sort the list.
However, I've got some text (Select Stockpile Item) that I wish not to be included in the A-Z sort as this might put items starting with T or later at the end of the sort.
Sub SortMySpecialStockpileA2Z()
If MsgBox("Are you sure?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion) = vbNo Then
Exit Sub

I am trying to compare the frequency of occurrence of multiple unique values within a data set and graph the results as a pareto. I have the formulas working to identify and count the occurrences, and the chart is designed and displaying the data, however I cannot get the graph to display in descending order.
I am unable to sort the data because it is generated from a series of formulas, the returned values of which cannot be sorted. (its hard to describe, see the attached workbook)
I would like to know how I can display the graph so that it shows the bars (primary axis) in descending order (highest value to left, lowest to right) since I cannot sort the data. i.e. For the attached workbook, I want the bars to display in descending number of occurrences: 81,15,5,5,3,3,2,2.
