how do you sort a table by column 1
Hi Paul I am not too sure where you are in EXCEL or what you are asking but
let me give you a simple example in the hope that it will answer your question. 1. Bring up a new (blank) Workbook. 2. In cells A1 to A5 enter:- a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 3. In cells B1 to B5 enter:- b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 4. In cells C1 to C5 enter:- c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 5. To sort by colum A (in EXCEL 2007):- - highlight A1 to C5 (inclusive) - Data / Sort / Sort by Column A / Order Z to A 6. Hit OK. 7. You will now see cells sorted as follows:- a5 b5 c5 a4 b4 c4 a3 b3 c3 a2 b2 c2 a1 b1 c1 Please click on Yes if my comments have helped you. Thanks! "paul jones" wrote: thank you in advance -- paul |
