Default Sorting high numbers from low numbers between two rows

"scotty" skrev i en meddelelse
...
Here is a portion of my worksheet.


A B C D E F
1
2 1 4 20 15 56 65
3
4 2 67 45 8 3 99
5

Sometimes all 30 cells have values in them, and sometime only Colmuns ABC
and rows 1-5 have values. Rows 1,3,5 are insignificant

What I want to do is to sort the values between row 2 & 4 by putting the
"6"
lowest values in row 2 and the the "6" highest values in row 4.

Can someone help me with the code on this?

Thanks



Scotty

Maybe this approach.

Assuming your list in A1:F5 enter this
array formula in e.g. H2:

=LARGE($A$2:$F$4*{1;0;1},COLUMN()-COLUMN($H$2)+7)

Finish with <Shift<Ctrl<Enter, also if edited later.

Copy H2 to i2:M2 with the fill handle (the little square in
the lower right corner of the cell)

In H4:

=LARGE($A$2:$F$4*{1;0;1},COLUMN()-COLUMN($H$2)+1)

Finish with <Shift<Ctrl<Enter, also if edited later.

Copy H4 to i4:M4 with the fill handle (the little square in
the lower right corner of the cell)

Empty cells in second and fourth row of your original
list will display as zero in the new list, so it is assumed,
that zero and an empty cell are not the same in your
original set. Get back, if this is a problem.
