Sorting dates by month instead of year
I am trying to sort my employee birthday list by month and then date so I can
see at a glance upcoming birthdays. However, no matter what I do I seem to be getting the results sorted by the year, which I do not want. |

If the birthday date is in column B:
=text(B2,mm/dd) Will produce results that will sort by month. "MMangen" wrote: I am trying to sort my employee birthday list by month and then date so I can see at a glance upcoming birthdays. However, no matter what I do I seem to be getting the results sorted by the year, which I do not want. |

It worked with one tweak - putting the mm/dd in quotes like this "mm/dd"

Assuming dates are in column A
In B1, enter =MONTH(A1) Double-click on fill handle to copy down. Select both columns and sort on column B Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 19 Dec 2006 10:13:00 -0800, MMangen wrote: I am trying to sort my employee birthday list by month and then date so I can see at a glance upcoming birthdays.
