Need Formula to renumber column
I have a sheet that contains 20 tasks that have a column that ranks their
priority 1 thru 20. I need to be able to take task 15 and change the priority to 3. When the priority changes I want task 15's row to become new row 3; old row 3 needs to become row 4 and the priority in old row 3/new row four needs to be changed to 4; ... and so on until row 14 becomes row 15 with a priority of 15. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? |

Just sort your table on the Task column.

Need Formula to renumber column
But I need to renumber all of the priorities also.
If in row 15 I change the priority to 3 I then have 2 priority 3 tasks - how do I make old priority 3 - priority 4... 4 changed to 5 ... and so on.

Need Formula to renumber column
I would handle this with a helper column.
Add a column with a formula like: =row()-1 or whatever creates the numbers 1 to 20. The other column, the one you have now, can then be used to force the rows to be sorted into the right order. The procedure would be: -- Change priority from 15 to 2.5 -- Sort the table -- Now your helper column will have the priorities shown properly. Regards, Fred "crj" wrote in message ... But I need to renumber all of the priorities also. If in row 15 I change the priority to 3 I then have 2 priority 3 tasks - how do I make old priority 3 - priority 4... 4 changed to 5 ... and so on.
