Another! satisfied customer <g Glad I was able to assist you with this, and
thanks for letting us know it did work for you.

one column of information to sort, and it is contiguous with other

with data in them, to grab them all and use the one you started with as

key. But the way I laid out above is the 'sure and certain' way.

Select all of the cells in all columns/rows that is to be sorted.
Then, from
the menu bar, use Data | Sort a 'wizard' will pop up and ask you
which
columns to use as the sort key(s). This will keep all of the data
together
as it is sorted by your departments.

Hello,

This is the problem. I have 5 columns that are in this order, Date,
Req.#, Requestor, Dept. and notes. I need to know how to arrange the
entire row where the departments are grouped together with the
corresponding information. The dates are not important as this
report
is quarterly; I know how to sort a column by itself but not the
entire
page.

Thanks,
