How can I sort one column and have the entire row sort. (binding)
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. |

How can I sort one column and have the entire row sort. (bindi
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?

In fact, go to the upper left hand corner and select the entire sheet. Then
sort by the state column. -- Gary''s Student "Blue" wrote: 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.

How can I sort one column and have the entire row sort. (bindi
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.

How can I sort one column and have the entire row sort. (bindi
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.

*Unmerge* your cells, and use "Center Across Selection" instead.

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?

Absolutely!
What you came up against is only one of the many problems that "Merge" causes. To be used only as the ultimate "last resort". -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Blue" wrote in message ...
