Change order of data in a cell
file codes are formatted Name_Initials of person responsible for file. IE
GHOPO_MP. MP is therefore responsible for the file GHOPO. I want to sort the list of files by my initials. ie MP. How can I change the order so that MP comes first? Or ... Can I find and replace MP in a different cell. And then sort on that column? Help please - I am using Excel 2000. -- Mary-Anne in Durban |

Change order of data in a cell
Mary Anne,
I'd extract the initials to a helper column and use that as the sort key. With your data in A1 down put this in B1 and drag down. =MID(A1,FIND("_",A1)+1,LEN(A1)) Mike "Mary-Anne" wrote: file codes are formatted Name_Initials of person responsible for file. IE GHOPO_MP.
