I would like to be able to sort the data in this one cell alphabetically without retyping the data .ie use a sort function but only for a cell.
For Example cell A1 contains Chris Brown Andy
No commas there. Names are seperated only by spaces.
What function should I use in order to get Andy Brown Chris ?

I am trying to create an alphabetised unique list for a report from an Excel master file and have searched the internet for solutions which all only seem to half work for me. I've copied a couple of array formulae below to try what I'm after and what the results are. 'RefSource' is the name I've given to the column of data I'm trying to sort.
{=INDEX(RefSource, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($A$2:A2, RefSource),0))}
This one works when I copy the formula down and gives me the unique list but doesn't sort the it into alphabetical order.

I have a long list of chemical names that I need to sort alphabetically. A problem arises wherein many of the chemical names are preceded by numbers, as in 1,1,1-Trichloroethane. When Excel sorts the list, it of course groups all entries beginning with 1,1,1- together, then 1,1,2-, and so on, then alphabetically. How can I get Excel to ignore the preceding numbers, and sort only alphabetically?

I am using Excel 2010. I am a novice user.
I have a lot of data to filter / sort. I want to initially to create a filter for a column of data - which has the format similar to hierarchical paths to files. The data is a mix of text/numbers. e.g.
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_254__5_0/d
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_253__5_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_17_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_0_0/d
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_255__5_0/d
[Code] .........
Doing an alphabetical sort of this date would return the following order. As you can see while each strings in unique - there are many instances where they are simialr - if you ignore the unique numeric values at the end of the string.
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_0_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_17_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_4_0/d
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_230__6_0/d
[Code] ......
So what I want to do is to create a filter for the strings - but ignoring the numeric bits at the end i.e.
reg_[0-9]+_+[0-9]+/d
The strings are obviiously of varying length and the number of hierarchical paths is different, so I can't split string on "/".
Similarly folder paths names can contain "_" so can't split string on this either.
As I don't know how many "/" or "-" instances there will be in the string I don't believe I can use the find function. Also as the amount of number will be different i don't think I can use =right(a1,X) either.
I may be able to search for the pattern above - as this is probabay unique - so maybe it's something like the following pseudo code:
Function GetString(txt As String) As String
With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
.Pattern = "reg_d+(_)+d+//d"
GetString = .execute(txt)(0)
End With
End Function
If I do require VBA code - how do I then use this for creating a column filter? Or will I have to extract the filtered data first from the column (and its associated row data) into another worksheet to use?
Once I have the filter in place I want to create tables using the filtered data - so for example each column value above has a lot of associated data values in each row e.g
26 pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_0_0/d
32 pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_17_0/d
8 pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_4_0/d
So my table would show the name "data_out_reg" and the range of values 8-32
I am using the formula below to find the # of hours that staff worked.
=SUMPRODUCT(('Data 1'!$B$2:$B$601=B7)*(LEFT('Data 1'!$A$2:$A$601,2)=LEFT(C7,2))*'Data 1'!$D$2:$D$601)
B7 = Last Name
Left(C7,2) = First 2 Letters of the First Name
$D$2:$D$601 = Hours Worked
My only problem is that some staff show up in the list on "Data 1" twice as they work in 2 separate stores and I am only getting the hours worked at the first store. Is there a way to have excel add the hours for both stores? My data is sorted alphabetically so they will be one above the other.
I havet he following code which sorts data. If there is no data to sort I keep on getting a run time error. Could I add something to my code to prevent the run-time error, as sometime there won't be any data to sort. The code runs when I switch to the worksheet in question.
Sub SortMeetings()
Dim iCTR As Integer
Dim yCTR As Integer
Dim zCTR As Integer
zCTR = 11
For iCTR = 12 To 23
For yCTR = 1 To 10
If Len(Range("D" & iCTR).Offset(0, yCTR)) 0 Then
Range("AA" & zCTR).Value = Format(Range("D" & iCTR).Offset(0, yCTR), "HH:MM") & " " & Range("D" & iCTR).Value
zCTR = zCTR + 1
End If
Next yCTR
Next iCTR
Range("AA11:AA" & zCTR).Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("AA11"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have Sheet1 "MASTER" and Sheet2 "Area1" and Sheet3 "Area2" etc...
My MASTER sheet has a list of employee names and the areas they work in. I have employees working in different areas, and I want to pull a list of employee names from the MASTER working in Area1 (sorted on the MASTER sheet) to column A on Sheet2, then pull a list of employee names working in Area2 to column A on Sheet3, etc...
I want it to do this in such a way that if I add an employee to Area1 on the MASTER data, it will populate that employee in the Area1 Sheet.
So basically, I'm looking at one column on the MASTER sheet to see if the area matches. Then looking at another column on the MASTER sheet to get the name. Then taking that name and transposing it to a new sheet corresponding to the area they work in.
I've attached a sample sheet. I want Column A in the Area1 sheet to reflect all names that show up on the Area1 LIST on the MASTER sheet, and nothing else. I'm using VLOOKUP to pull the rest of the data from the MASTER table.
There is a new sample workbook up now. Couldn't update it sooner due to site outage. I've removed irrelevant data to improve readability and focus on what I'm trying to achieve. Again, the main issue is scraping column E from the Master, and populating a list of all employees who match certain values in Column E on the Master in Column A of the other tabs.
I have a sheet of data in groupings where the titles of the groups is in a row. For example: "Boys" in A7 with the names of boys in A8:A14 and "Girls in A15 with the names of girls in A16:A26. I want to sort by column G but keep the boys and girls separate.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the attached version the "Print Version" tab sorts the values entered into the "Log Entries" tab. When entries are deleted from the "Log Entries" tab they are converted into 'blank' entries and moved to the end in the "Print Version" tab.
However, in earlier versions the "IFERROR" does not appear to work, therefore any blank entries are shown as "#NUM!", which is kind of annoying. If there any way around this? The forumla is shown below. =IFERROR(SMALL('Log Entries'!$A$1:$E$47,ROW('Log Entries'!A1)+COLUMNS('Log Entries'!$A$1:A1)*46-46),"")
to use a Macro in order to batch process a set of data that will have consistent columns, but may have additional rows.
I have attached the file, three tabs.
1st - Sch of Inv(2): The intended goal
The data is sorted first by Georgraphic Location (A), then Strategy (C), then Substrategy (E). Column F should be the same formula that is currently there, but updated for column I once the information is pulled (I""/$F$29*100). The *100 is to only display the % symbol once. If there's a better way to calculate percentages and only show the symbol on the first one, that would also help. Column I is the place to calculate the data from Tab 2. Column K is your check figures, which are within $5 (due to a miskey probably, not important). Cell F29 will be a manually hard-coded number on each sheet (which would be entered before the Macro is initiated).
2nd - Cost Query: The data source sheet
6 columns, 5 have relevant data. Manager shortname is the 'primary key', but won't need to be displayed anywhere. Region-Strategy Code-Substrategy Name correspond to (A), (C) and (E) on Tab 1. The goal is to sum by each of these factors, then display the one sum on Tab 1. The pull will include column F, but it has no actual value. I'd prefer to be able to just keep it on Tab 2.
3rd - Pivot of Cost Query: The step inbetween?
Here is the proof that the data can be easily pivoted to provide all of the values, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to quickly move those values into the predetermined format of Tab 1.
Questions:
Is there something simple that I'm missing to move the data from the pivot into the predetermined format?
How can I use a macro to take the data on Tab 2, move it into a pivot on Tab 3, then move that data to the format (column I) in Tab 1? Is this process easier without the pivot step in the middle?

Excel file. The file has two tabs: 'Input' and 'Master'. The 'Input' tab is for users to input any new records, and the 'Master' tab is to retrieve data from the 'Input' tab. Given that some users may want to insert a row in between (rather than add at the bottom).
I used arrays in the 'Master' tab such as:
={IF(ISERROR(1/Input!E2:E250),"",Input!E2:E250)}
Now there came the problem: in the 'Master' tab, the data cannot be sorted when the arrays are used. Otherwise, there is a warning message: You cannot change part of an array.
I've found that sorting a column next to one which has drop down boxes set up in it, does not take the options for the drop down boxes (data validation ) with them when being re-arranged. Is there a way to make this possible, or an alternative format I should be using? see example:
If item 4 is the only one available from supplier 3, (As shown by the drop down box options) how do I sort by say, department, and still have the correct options on hand? Sorting by department, the items move, but the data validation info stays where it is, leaving the supplier 3 option for item 1, which is not correct.
