Sorting not getting what I want
Hi I have got a worksheet with formulas that use data from other cells.
I now want to sort on one of the columns but leave the results of the calculations in the cells of the other columns unchanged. A very simple version looks like this: A B C 1 w 17 23 2 d =C1 (ie 23) 99 If I now sort on column A, how do I get the following result? A B C 1 d =C2 99 2 w 17 23 Hope this makes sense. Thanks Rod |

If I assume that there is loads more than 2 rows, this should help. Make another 2 columns, D and E D and E correspond to A and C respectively, D1 Formula is =A1, E1 =C1 Sort columns D and E in ascending order by column D Make 3 more columns, F, G and H F formula =D1 G formula =VLOOKUP(D1,A$1:B$10000,2) "This assumes you have 10000 rows" H formula =E1 Drag every cell in row 1 down to where ever the table ends. The columns A, B and C that you want are now displayed in columns F, G and H respectively. -- Faz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Faz's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27830 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=475592 |
