Large and Small functions only work with the Numbers and it doesn't work with
Text Characters. -------------------- (Ms-Exl-Learner) -------------------- "Eric" wrote: N.B. how can I sort them using formula, such as large or small function Thanks in advance for any suggestions Eric "Eric" wrote: There is a table from cell M2 to W200, which contains names and empty cell.

How to sort names in alphabetical ascending order?
Assume that you are having the below data like the below:-
Row / Col A Column Row1 NAME Row2 NDF Row3 ABC Row4 YJK Row5 LDF Row6 NTK Row7 PMR Row8 OTF Row9 KQY Row10 DFT Row11 PKR In B2 cell paste the below formula =COUNTIF($A$2:$A$11,"<="&$A2) Copy the B2 cell and paste it upto B11. In C2 cell paste the below formula =INDEX($A$2:$A$11,MATCH(ROW()-ROW($C$1),$B$2:$B$11,FALSE)) Copy the C2 cell and paste it upto C11. Now the data will look like the below Row / Col A Column B Column C Column Row1 NAME NUMBER RESULT TEXT Row2 NDF 5 ABC Row3 ABC 1 DFT Row4 YJK 10 KQY Row5 LDF 4 LDF Row6 NTK 6 NDF Row7 PMR 9 NTK Row8 OTF 7 OTF Row9 KQY 3 PKR Row10 DFT 2 PMR Row11 PKR 8 YJK Hope this is what you are expecting to do€¦ Remember to Click Yes, if this post helps! -------------------- (Ms-Exl-Learner) -------------------- "Eric" wrote: Do you have any suggestions on what kind of functions work with text characters?

How to sort names in alphabetical ascending order?
To get it in a single formula then use the below:-
Row / Col A Column Row1 NAME Row2 NDF Row3 ABC Row4 YJK Row5 LDF Row6 NTK Row7 PMR Row8 OTF Row9 KQY Row10 DFT Row11 PKR Copy and paste the below formula in B2 cell =INDEX($A$2:$A$11,MATCH(SMALL(COUNTIF($A$2:$A$11," <"&$A$2:$A$11),ROW(1:1)),COUNTIF($A$2:$A$11,"<"&$A $2:$A$11),0)) Place the cursor in B2 cell and press F2 and give Cntrl+Shift+Enter, since it is an array formula. Copy the B2 cell and paste it to the remaining cells of B Column depends upon the A column data. -- Remember to Click Yes, if this post helps! -------------------- (Ms-Exl-Learner) -------------------- "Eric" wrote: Do you have any suggestions on what kind of functions work with text characters?

How to sort names in alphabetical ascending order?
I try it, which works if all data is under the same column, but it does not
work for table from M2 to W200. Do you have any suggestions on how to make it work for a table?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it in excel? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Eric The brute force approach would be to copy and paste each column M to W to column Z individually, then sort alphabetically in column Z. If you don't need to retain the names in the table you could cut and paste instead. Bill |
