Sorting
I am soritng a spreadsheet (A-Z by last name). So, for example, data for
person 1 is on row A1-G1 (takes 1 row) but then column H will have data for that person in rows 1-3 so when I sort at this point the data in H2-3 will get pushed down to the end of the sheet. What I am doing now is typing the persons last & first name 3+ times so that it sorts all the persons information along with it. Is there a different way of doing this? I know...Hard to explain...I hope someone out there knows what i'm talking about! |

Hi,
What you need to do is fill in the missing repeat names. This could be in one or more columns, but let me assume it is in A1:G100. Highlight this range and 1. Press F5, Special, Blanks, OK 2. Type =, Up, Ctrl+Enter. (Type the equal sign then press the Up arrow key once and finally press Ctrl+Enter. 3. Select the range A1:G100 again and press Ctrl+C (copy) 4. Choose Edit, Paste Special, Values. 5. Now you can sort, keeping everything together. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
