Default Filter Sort Columns in a table.

Hi Shane,
This is the formula in A6
=INDIRECT("'transaction database'!"&ADDRESS(COLUMN()+4,(COLUMN())+ROW()-4))
This is the formula in A7
=INDIRECT("'transaction database'!"&ADDRESS(COLUMN()+4,(COLUMN())+ROW()-5))
The only change in the formula in the row is the last #-6, -7, -8, etc

Then the entire row is copy and pasted down to row 250.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Mike

Hi,

The filters have no problem with formulas, but the sort command does.

You will need to show us a sample of your formulas so we can make addtional
suggestions. Sometimes there are work arounds for this problem.

I have a table in a worksheet with column headings in 5A through 5BC each
transaction is entered in rows, starting with row 6 through row 250. The
Filter is turned on in the column headings. When I click on the arrow I can
choose a filter sort. Do the formulas prevent the filtering???
When I do nothing happens. If I copy the sheet to another sheet and paste
using Special Paste and paste only Values and Number Formats the filter and
sort works perfectly.

What am I doing wrong???

Thanks, Mike
