Long List Won't Sort?

Jul 22, 2013

I am trying to sort a fairly long list of tasks into a custom calendar order. I have created the custom list as Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan etc through to Aug, with one additional heading of "Recurring". The list won't seem to sort by the column where these headings occur. See attachment.

Filtering A LONG List To Entries In A Shorter List

Nov 10, 2008

I have a list of email aliases for my company, approx 10,000 entries, mapping the alias to an email address. Two columns, one the alias firstname.surname, second column being the full email address. I have a second list, a subset of these aliases, approx 1200 of them, that are users of a particular web app. All i have in this list though, is the firstname.surname bit.

What I need to do is compare the lists, and where the aliases match I need to pull out the corresponding full email address from the long list, so I have 1200 aliases in the shorter list, with the full email address mapped to it. Is this possible in excel? i've tried all sorts of LOOKUP functions, and MATCH functions, but none seem to work. MATCH will give me the corresponding row number in the long list, but then it seems to offset itself every row it goes down, so the values are 1 out for every row. First row is good, second row -1, third row -3, fourth row -4 etc.

I don't want to have to manually go through 1200 entries and match them against a 10,000-entry list. Hopefully there's a quick way in excel to filter the long list down to the entries specified in the short list?

how to add alternating cells when all are numbers, e.g. B8 to KW8 are all numbers and I want to add B8, D8, F8, etc. until KV8 and then separately add C8, E8, G8, etc until KW8. Is there a more efficient way to do this than =sum(b8,D8, etc)? I also need to do the same with =counta(b8, d8, etc).

Copy Certain Records From Long List Into New Sheet

Feb 2, 2012

I need to create a new sheet, and pull all the rows (14 columns each) from another sheet in the document that meet a certain criteria. Fortunately, that criteria is all in one column; unfortunately, out of about 30 different entries in that column, I need it to pull 7 of them, 4 of them have been input 2 or 3 different ways.

I know I can go through the list of 900+ by hand and copy the rows, but there has to be an easier way right? Here is the list of all the spellings of the ones I need to pull..

Convert Long Address List To Multiple Columns

I've been given a long list of mailing addresses in Excel in formatted as a single column, each address using three rows with no blank rows. Example:

John Doe

Trying To Write A List Of Numbers In A Cell, Keeps Converting It To A Long Number

Jan 12, 2010

I'm doing the website for my company and things have to be entered into the site via spreadsheets. I have a list of numbers

e.g. 3652, 2845, 50925, 4809, 18392

that need to have the spaces removed in order for them to work.

e.g. 3652,2845,50925,4809,18392

There are over 500 cells with multiple numbers in each, so I don't want to do it one at a time, and rightly so, because Excel keeps changing the format and giving me something like

3.6*10^30 and loses all my commas.

Is there an easier way?

Removing All But Highest Occurrence Of Version Numbers In Long List?

Feb 7, 2014

I have a list full of different IDs with different version numbers (This format: AKH123.1).

I'm trying to clean the list - removing all duplicate IDs but leaving only the largest version number.

I managed to remove the last digit using LEN/VLOOKUP and removing duplicates, but leaving only the largest version number is too tricky for me. I've thought about trying something with LARGE but can't wrap my mind around it.

My thought process went like this: I want to find all occurrences of "AKH123" and return the largest one.

The list contains about 8000 entries and this would save en enormous amount of work.

Here is a tiny portion of the list:

AKH450.1
AKH451.1
AKH451.3
AKH451.4
AKH451.5
AKH451.6
AKH451.7
AKH451.8
AKH452.1
AKH453.3
AKH454.1
AKH455.1
AKH455.2

VBA To Sort Worksheets From A List

May 7, 2009

Is it possible to sort numerous worksheets based off a list of cells that are the names of the worksheets within the same file? For example my worksheet names are:

YTD Texas
YTD Florida
Period Texas
Period Florida

I can sort the sheets by alpha but it puts the two YTD worksheets together when I need the two Texas sheets side by side (I need this on a file that contains over 100 worksheets otherwise I would do it manually) I was wondering if I could create my order of sheet name in another worksheet and reference that list through vba code?

Getting A List To Automatically Sort

Oct 17, 2013

I am trying to get a list to sort automatically. I am running a competition over an 11 week period and entering weekly data that is totalled on a separate "Totals" sheet.

This "Totals" sheet, in turn, feeds a "Scores" sheet which I want to automatically sort in descending order of score in order to show the current positions in the competition.

The data in the list isn't entered directly but comes from formulas that reference cells in other workbooks.

I have found ways of sorting a list when you enter data into the list itself but what I need is a macro that will update the sort order automatically whenever a new value is entered in one of the other workbooks.

Sort List By No Of Characters

Feb 18, 2007

I have a large list of phrases, about 30,000 all in Col A. (From A3 to be exact)

What I want is to sort by number of characters.
I know excel can sort A-Z,,, but I can't see by number of characters??

Is there anyway I can sort this list by No of Characters please??

List does include letters and numbers.
But they are mainly 3-4 keyword phrases.

This is so from a large list all the least amount of characters will be at the top of the list so I can easily see them,, and probably delete most of the 1,2,3,4 character returned results.

Sort Based On List

Jun 4, 2008

sorry for restarting this thread but i started one similar on saturday and the person I was talking to has not yet responded

I want to know if it is possible to adjust this code line:

Case "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"

from the macro below to instead get the case names from a list on a worksheet... the reason for this is that the names of the worksheets I want sorted will change periodically.

Sub SortDaysoftheWeek()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Select Case ws.Name
Case "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"
With ws
.Activate
.Range("A6:G256").Sort Key1:=Range("A6"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:= _
xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End With
End Select
Next ws
End Sub

Add Custom Sort List To VBA Code

Mar 12, 2009

I have a Macro that I have recorded that autosorts several columns for me. This works fine as I have 5 columns that need to be sorted in a particular way.

The problem is that I have a custom list which I stored using the: Tools>Options>Custom List tab. Now this works fine on my pc as I have the custom list stored on my PC.however the problem is when someone else uses it on their PC it may no longer work as they won't have my custom list stored on their PCs.

Is there a way to store the custom list in a Macro and then use that list to sort to the criteria needed. For example "One, Two, Three, Four" will not store in alphabetically, so hope would I be able to sort so that they would appear in a chronological manner? Below is the code for the Macro I recorded. As you can see one of the lines says "OrderCustom:=6"; this I am assuming is reading from the list I created.

Using Custom Sort List Within Macro

Aug 3, 2009

I have following code, which sorts data if user "double clicks" on cells A1, B1, C1, or D1. If the user "double clicks" on cell D1, I want to sort by column D but I want to apply a custom list. The data is in the "Custom Lists" table but I can't figure out how to apply to my code.

The sequence/sort order of the list is as follows:
aaa+, aaa, aaa-, aa+, aa, aa-, a+, a, a-, bbb+, bbb, bbb-, bb+, bb, bb-, b+, b, b-, ccc+, ccc, ccc-, cc+, cc, cc-, c+, c, c-, ddd+, ddd, ddd-, dd+, dd, dd-, d+, d, d-

VBA - Sort Worksheets In Same Order As List

Oct 7, 2011

I have the below code that sorts a list of Doors that I have in row C17 downwards. Door 54, Door 7, Door 109 etc. The list is feeding a drop down box, people find the door they were looking for, in the said drop down box.

Code:

Sub ListSorter()
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row

[Code]....

I wondered if there was some code I could add to the end of this, that would the sort worksheets, which are all named after each cell in the list, in the same order.
