Excel 2003.

I wish to send my client's birthday cards and am attempting to filter thier
DOB's so that they are ordered from the first of the month to the last.

I'm having a problem as excel only filter the whole date oldest to newest
and doesn't take into account the actual day. EG: - with the list below
excel has filtered using the year.

What I want is for the day to be filtered regardless of the year - so that i
can send out the cards on a daily basis.

Is this possibile and can anyone tell me how?

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,

Dates in column A

Column B would have the formula =MONTH(A1)
Column C would have the formula = DAY(A1)

then you can just sort by column B ascending, column C ascending to get them
in the order you need
