Copying & Pasting from Pivot Table
When I copy rows from a pivot table and paste into another worksheet of
numbers, which is NOT a pivot table, I can't sort all together (existing number in worksheet together with numbers from pivot table). I have tried formatting all to 'number' but that doesn't work. The only thing I've found that works is to click in the cell of each number pasted from the pivot table and hit the delete key at the beginning. There's no space there, there's nothing there. But hitting the delete key seems to "free" the cell in order to sort with the rest. This, however, is VERY time-consuming. Can anyone tell me a faster method? Thank you Connie Martin |

Hi Connie-
Have you tried using EditPaste Special - Values ?

I hadn't tried that, and just did now, but it still won't sort until I press
the Delete key before each number. Connie Martin "CyberTaz" wrote: Hi Connie- Have you tried using EditPaste Special - Values ?

What I meant to say in my first response to you is that the numbers still
won't sort unless I perform a delete at the beginning of each number, which in essence, is pressing the backspace key. Once I do that the numbers will sort in with the existing numbers in the spreadsheet. I have even tried the format painter. Still doesn't work.
