Absolutely!

What you came up against is only one of the many problems that "Merge"
causes.

RAG DUDE,
This worked Great. I thank you for your help. When I am making columns of
data, is it best to leave them unmerged?

I keep get the note about merged cell must be exact size. I have
adjusted
the rows and columns to have all the merged cells the same size. I
click
on
upper left corner to select the worksheet. Go to the pulldown of sort
under
data and chose the state column for the sort. AND THE NOTE pops up
about
the
merged cells. I Know they are the exact size. What is causing this??
Need a
little Help. Take care, Blue

Gary, When I select the whole sheet and then hold ctrl and select
the
top
cell in the state column and sort. Message says can't select
multi-columns.
Try one only. So when I do it sorts states only.

In fact, go to the upper left hand corner and select the entire
sheet.
Then
sort by the state column.

Gary"s Student,
I tried selecting all used columns, but they are all merged in
different
sizes. It just sorts the single column of states. Do I just
highlight the
column letter on the top to select them?

Select all used columns before sorting. When you do the sort
of
the state
column, the other will follow.

I have my client list in rows. One row per client. The last
column in the
each row has the state abriviation. I want to sort this
column
and have my
client list sorted by state. I need to bind the rows as a
unit.
Because when
I sort the last column the states sort, but they don't carry
the
entire row
with them. Please help.
