Sort a column (specifically email data) by end of text, not beginn
 

One of my files contains a field of Emails. I want to sort it by the ISP, not
the beginning of the text. so if an email is , I want to sort it
so I can view all the , etc. -- the only way I know how
to sort is by Ascending/descending and it sorts by the beginning of the text.
Thanks!

Create a 'helper column' in which you tease out the ISP. Ex: if the email
address is in A2, enter =RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-FIND("@",A2)) in B2 to calculate
just the ISP. Autofill that formula to each row, then sort based on the new
column.

Assuming that Column A contains your data, enter the following formula
in B1 and copy down:

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("@",A1))

Then, select Column A and Column B, and sort by Column B.

Hope this helps!

Use a helper column to extract the ISP. If email names are in A1 enter
in B1

=RIGHT(A12,LEN(A12)-FIND("@",A12))
copy down as appropriate then sort on column B

I can not get it to auto fill. I put the code in and wanted to drag and drop
for the remaning fields, but will not copy to the next number. Any ideas?
Thanks
