Sorting Rows
I can't really explain what I want, so I'll just type an example. Say I've got a sheet with three weeks of sales on it. I have rows 1-3, each representing a week of sales. I have 5 columns, each representing a day, Monday-Friday. Each day shows the dollar amount of sales. Now, what I'd like to do is have excel sort the rows and keep all corresponding data together. I'll have it start with Monday and see which column has the highest monday slot, then have it go to Tuesday (if there are weeks with the same Monday sales), and on. My problem is it isn't keeping the weeks together, so I end up with the highest days.
