Default Sort by Total

Hi,

I'm not clear on what you want the output to look like - where will the
detail rows for each customer go in your final output?

I see two approaches.
1. Delete all the total lines and put the data into a pivot table.
2. Fill in the missing customer names and/or #'s and then apply the auto
filter to display only the total rows, and sort or copy and sort.

Pick one and I will give you more details, if you need. But I will need to
know more about how your data looks - show us some more lines.

Thanks,

Greetings all,

I have a large spreadsheet that was exported out of my accounting program.
It lists all customers and all their sales for the last 24 months. The total
sales are listed below their individual sales, in the same column. Is there
any way that I could sort this list by the total sales amount? The total
sales are in bold, but no other customer data is on the same line. I need to
come up with all customers that purchased over $3k in this time period. The
number of sales vary by customer. Here is what the report looks like:

Customer name Inv. # sale #1
Inv. # sale #2
________
Total Sales

Customer name Inv. # sale #1 €¦..

I am using Excel 2007. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
