How do I sort a column using the last number in the cell?
 

I need to sort a spreadsheet by using the last digit in a column that has
department numbers.

EX: 300009
300006
300004

Thank you!

How do I sort a column using the last number in the cell?
 

hi
use a helper column.
in a column to the right of the data, enter this formula.....
=right(A2,1)
copy down.
use the helper column as the primary sort key.

Hi,

use a helper column to extract the last number

=RIGHT(A1,1)

Select both columns and sort on the helper column which you can hide.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.
