6 66
7 22 2 4 6 8 10
8 22 5 10 15 20 25

I am desprately looking for a formula that will organize data by using a
common cell number, then taking the remainder of the data in that row and
only looking at those rows for comparing data. In the example above column A
w/ "22" openning the door for the data in rows 1, 7 and 8.

Thanks very much

Suggest that you just clean it up (remove the rows w/o data),
then just do a data sort on the cleaned up table, sort by col A

To clean up:
Insert a new top row, type a label into G1, eg: xxx
Put this in G2:
=IF(COUNT(B2:F2)=0,"x","")
Copy down to the last row of data in col A
Then select col G, click DataFilterAutofilter,
choose: x from the droplist to filter out the rows w/o data
Select all these rows right-click Delete Row
Remove Autofilter, then delete col G.
