ALPHA/NUMERICAL SORT
How do we sort Alpha Numerical in the same manner as we count?
EX: H1, H2, H9, H10, H100, H500, H1004, etc... Excell will sort as H1, H10, H100, H1004, H2, H500, H9 Our project requires the different sorting as stated. Any Help? |

ALPHA/NUMERICAL SORT
Assume your data in A1:A7
create a helper column In B1: =LEFT(A1)&TEXT(MID(A1,2,99),"0000") copy down to B7 Select both column and sort by column B. When you done, delete the helper column "MoKaLasco" wrote: How do we sort Alpha Numerical in the same manner as we count? EX: H1, H2, H9, H10, H100, H500, H1004, etc...

ALPHA/NUMERICAL SORT
One way
In B1: =SUBSTITUTE(A1,"H","")+0 Copy down to extent of source data in col A Then select cols A & B, do DataSort by col B, ascending -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:27,000 Files:200 Subscribers:70 xdemechanik --- "MoKaLasco" wrote: How do we sort Alpha Numerical in the same manner as we count?

ALPHA/NUMERICAL SORT
Hi,
Here are two ways, assuming the data is in column A starting on row 2 1. In B2 enter =--MID(A2,2,9) Copy this down and sort your data based on this column 2. Select the data in column A and choose Data, Text to columns, Fixed width, Next, Next, select the first column in the preview area and choose Do not import (Skip) and make B2 the destination cell. Use this column to sort your data. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button. Cheers, Shane Devenshire "MoKaLasco" wrote: How do we sort Alpha Numerical in the same manner as we count?

It seems that translation via a helper column is necessary. I wonder if the Romans ever sorted numerically and how would you do it with Excel? -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

Maybe this googled thread contains some answers:
