How do I get monthly data in the data area to remain in order
It sounds like your months might be entered as text. Try entering the months
as dates and then formatting them in the "Format Cells" dialog box. For example, enter: 01/01/2007 02/01/2007 03/01/2007 Then go to the Format Cells dialog box and reformat the dates as you want them to look. -- John Mansfield "LauraFitzroy" wrote: The data area is rearranging the months in alphabetical order.

Thanks John!! It worked. Also, before receiving yr reply, I tried
protecting the sheet of original data, which worked as well. Thanks again "John Mansfield" wrote: It sounds like your months might be entered as text.
