Re-sort list when opening spreadsheet
I have a spreadsheet that pulls information from about 5 other spreadsheets, and of course this happens automatically each time the spreadsheet is opened. My question is, is there a way to re-sort the list each time that information is pulled? I am trying to make a top 10 list of my salespeople and I am looking for a way to have it re-sort the list automatically after pulling the updated information from the other spreadsheets. Suggestions? Thanks in advance -- kevlar3d ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kevlar3d's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=20428 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=515437 |

Re-sort list when opening spreadsheet
You could record a macro that sorts the data the way you want it sorted. Then
incorporate that code in your code that updates the values. Alternatively, you may want to apply data|Filter|autofilter and just let the users filter to show the info they need. kevlar3d wrote: I have a spreadsheet that pulls information from about 5 other spreadsheets, and of course this happens automatically each time the spreadsheet is opened.

Re-sort list when opening spreadsheet
I recorded a macro as you suggested and that worked. I dont really understand the autosort suggestion you had, i will have to read the docs on autosort. -- kevlar3d ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kevlar3d's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=20428 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=515437 |

Autofilter?
Try this on a test worksheet. Select a range and do Data|Filter|autofilter. You'll see arrows in the header rows of your selected range. You can use those arrows to show just the rows you want to see. kevlar3d wrote: I recorded a macro as you suggested and that worked.
