Would like to sort on cell formulas
I suppose this would be via a macro, and that's fine. My goal is
to sort a table based on the formulas in one column, rather than on the displayed results in the column. Can anyone help with this? Thanks, Dallman Ross |

Use a Helper column in which you put the same formulas, but without the
leading Equal sign......then sort on that column. hth Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Dallman Ross" wrote: I suppose this would be via a macro, and that's fine.

I just saw someone recommend an add in that had a function to 'capture' a formula as a string. Seems to me that this + a sort would do what you want ... now ... if I could just find where I read that ... :) Hope someone can point you at the add in I mean. |

I found out about it a couple of weeks ago from others here in this group. http://xcell05.free.fr/ Yes, it does have a function that shows the formula as text. Theoretically, that would help me do this. But I am trying to avoid setting up a dummy column like that. That's why I was hoping someone could cobble a quick macro together to do it instead. I do appreciate the brainstorming, in any case! Dallman |

I picked it up and installed it myself today ... but didn't click that that may well have been where I saw it. Bother ! Sorry about that chief :) Yes, it does have a function that shows the formula as text. Theoretically, that would help me do this. But I am trying to avoid setting up a dummy column like that.

spake thusly: I suppose this would be via a macro, and that's fine. My goal is to sort a table based on the formulas in one column, rather than on the displayed results in the column. Can anyone help with this? I just figured out one way to do this easily. Indeed, I'm surprised nobody suggested it, in this clever group. If I do, e.g., from a macro, a search-and-replace of the leading "=" with some benign unique char in the column I intend to sort, the formulas become text. I can sort as desired, then replace the dummy chars with "=" again. Voila! Dallman Ross |
