Alphabetical Grouping
I have a list that is sorted alphabetically. Is it possible in Excel to make
an outline where you have A-Z tabs instead of 1, 2, 3... so that you can just see the first company beginning with A and not the next 10 and then first company beginning with B etc. Thanks. |
Alphabetical Grouping
Assuming your names start in A2, with a header row etc. You could insert a 1 character wide column before the names, and in (the new) cell A2 insert the formula =IF(LEFT(B2,1)=LEFT(B1,1),"","F") Make the column font white-on-white to hide the data, and Data, Filter, Auto-Filter. Selecting 'F' will give you the first of a group. Note, if you have no header row you will either have to inser one or type the letter 'F' into A1. -- non lo so Wrote: I have a list that is sorted alphabetically.
