Default Sorting huge worksheet

I have problems sorting a sheet with 2o ooo rows and 25 columns.
Whether I try with or without header it ignores the data.

I can do it with approx. 2 ooo rows without problems

Any reason and ideas?

Thx
Felix

Try selecting the entire range before you do the Data Sort

Eg: if source table is within A1:Y20000,
1. Type the range into the namebox*, viz. type: A1:Y20000
2. Press Enter to select the range
*box with the dropdown just to the left of the formula bar, above "A"
3. With the range selected, proceed with the Data Sort

P/s: An obs on your posting - you use (wrongly) lowercase letter O instead
of zeros in eg your "2o ooo rows".

Perhaps a completely blank row occurs somewhere among those 20,000 rows.
