can't sort a list
I'm using the following code in excel 2003 trying to sort a column of text
values: ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("cost sheet").Range("a100:a200").Select Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("a100"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlNo, _ OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom I get an error: "Sort reference is not valid. make sure it's withing the data ou want to sort and the first sort by box isn't the same or blank. Most of the cells are blank and all are formatted as text. Any help would be appreciated |

can't sort a list
I'm gonna guess that it's that unqualified range object:
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("a100"), .... should be: Selection.Sort Key1:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("cost sheet").Range("a100") Or without selecting... with ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("cost sheet").Range("a100:a200") .Sort Key1:=.columns(1), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlNo, _ OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom end with bigjim wrote: I'm using the following code in excel 2003 trying to sort a column of text values: ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("cost sheet").Range("a100:a200").Select Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("a100"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlNo, _ OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom I get an error: "Sort reference is not valid. make sure it's withing the data ou want to sort and the first sort by box isn't the same or blank.
