sort by month and date only
Is there a way to sort by month and day only? For example, the field
"Date" is in a format mm/dd/yyyy but I want to sort it only by mm/dd so that January 1, 2004 comes before October 10, 2003. Does that make sense? Robert 1/1 1/2.... 2/1 2/2... 3/1 3/2... etc. |

The way to do this is to set up a helper column with just the month and the day.
One formula is: =date(year(today()),month(a1),day(a1) Then sort on that column. Another option is to restructure your data to have separate columns for the year, month and day. -- Regards, Fred "robnsd" wrote in message oups.com... Is there a way to sort by month and day only?

I'd tweak that slightly, Fred
=DATE(0,MONTH(A1),DAY(A1)) otherwise 29th Feb will be equal to 1st March and might sort the wrong way round.... or just use =TEXT(A1,"mmdd") "Fred Smith" wrote: The way to do this is to set up a helper column with just the month and the day.
