sort a range of numbers ignoring preceding letters
I have a range of reference IDs that are in the format:
AAA ###.### (eg ABC 123.456) I wish to sort the range based only on the numbers in the ID (ignore any text preceding the numbers). I can use "text to columns" and then sort, but I was hoping there was an easier way. |
