VLookup and Sort difficulties
I have a column in a worksheet that uses vlookup function. The formula in my
first line is: =VLOOKUP(I2,PRODUCTLINE!$A$1:$C$540,3,FALSE) ....where I2 is the first cell that it references to match a value. The next one logically is: =VLOOKUP(I3,PRODUCTLINE!$A$1:$C$540,3,FALSE) ....where I3 is the cell that the next line references. So now I have my spreadsheet with all the PRODUCTLINE cells filled in correctly and I'd like to sort by Product Line. But when I do a datasort, it takes me back to the original order because it's sorting on the formula above, not the resulting Product Line verbiage. Thoughts? Suggestions? KK |
