Sorting and Date Format Help
I hope this makes sense, but without going into a lengthy detail of what I
need to have work, is there a way to take a date and either use said date, or add either 30 or 90 days to it and format it as mmm-yy and still be able to sort and group it without the interference of the day portion of the date? I have the formula for the calculated date working as needed. Now (I think) it is a formatting problem with the date. I need to sort a second field and the day portion is causing it to not sort as needed. Example: Class CalculatedDate Shown in Formula Bar AKU Apr-10 4/1/10 MMU Apr-10 4/5/10 TKU Apr-10 4/7/10 AKU Apr-10 4/9/10 I sort by CalcuatedDate and then by Class, but it's actually sorting by the day in the CalcDate which is correct, but is there a way around it. I need all Apr-10 grouped together regardless of day and then Class sorted and grouped alphabetically. I've spent a considerable amount of time on this and it is for automation for a project that occurs weekly, so any help would certainly be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Pam |
