Sorting External Data
I've created a sheet with a vb form. The form finds a value on the sheet and
calculates a percentage based on a number input (i.e. "Downtime 1" "28%"). I'd like to create a "Top 5" style report based on these numbers, but don't know how to go about it. (I'm currently using the " '[WorkBook.xls]Sheetname'!$A$1:$A$60 " style function, then using the =value() function to get the #'s into the sheet without the reference - I can't seem to get the sort to work though.) So - if you could get through my rambling, I'm trying to sort data from another sheet without actually changing it on the original. help? |

Sorting External Data
then using the =value() function to get the #'s into the sheet without the
reference I don't know why you're using the Value function unless it's to convert strings that look like numbers to true numbers. But, in any case, I think if you change the formulas to include a sheet reference (even those they reference the same sheet they are on) the sort will work. E.g., Value(A1) - =Value(Sheet1!A1) -- Jim "Jay" wrote in message ... | I've created a sheet with a vb form.
