Thumbs up Answer: Not all columns are being sorted

Hi there! It sounds like you're having trouble sorting all the columns in your large spreadsheet. I'd be happy to help you out.

Here's what you can do to sort all the columns in your spreadsheet:
  1. Click on any cell within your data range (A3:BI193).
  2. Go to the Data tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  3. Click on the Sort button.
  4. In the Sort dialog box, make sure that the My data has headers box is checked.
  5. In the Sort by dropdown menu, select the column you want to sort by (e.g. Column A).
  6. In the Then by dropdown menu, select the next column you want to sort by (e.g. Column B).
  7. Continue selecting columns in the Then by dropdown menu until you've selected all the columns you want to sort by.
  8. Make sure that the Sort On dropdown menu is set to Values.
  9. Make sure that the Order dropdown menu is set to either Smallest to Largest or Largest to Smallest, depending on how you want to sort your data.
  10. Click the OK button to sort your data.

If you follow these steps, Excel should recognize all the columns in your data range and sort them accordingly. Let me know if this helps!
