how do I sort multiple rows in excel
 

I have a spreadsheet with 7 columns wide with a large number of rows and I
need to sort the data in the rows. I can do it for each individual row but,
this time consuming and could do with knowing if there is any way to sort a
couple of hundred rows.

jsmith,

Select all your cells, then run a macro like this, assuming you want each row to be sorted on its
own....

Sub TryNow()
Dim myRow As Range
For Each myRow In Selection.Rows
myRow.Sort myRow.Cells(1), xlDescending, header:=xlNo, Orientation:=xlSortRows
Next myRow
End Sub

If you have fewer than 255 rows, select everything, copy, paste special,
transpose, to turn your rows into columns.
