Excell help
Is this even possible without recording a macro. I have a column with
setting's entered. say b4:b28. In this column diffrent chemical settings are entered. You may start the day at 130 but during the course of the day this may change. The changes are entered in the same column but diffrent row. What I need is at the end of the day I want the settings to be arranged in the top spots of a diffrent column. I really do not want to record a macro to sort if I do not have to because I have multiply columns with different settings. I want to skip the blank cells and have the cells with settings in at the top of a seperate column. The cells between the settings are blank. Thanks in adavance Scott Example Finish if possible B4 183 183 134 120 134 120 etc to b28 |

Enter the array formula =VSORT(B4:B28) into the cells of your Result column. To enter this formula: 1. Select the target range (e.g. Z4:Z28) 2. Type or paste in =VSORT(B4:B28) 3. Hold down <ctrl<shift while hitting <enter. Excel will place braces {...} around the formula and also enter the formula in every selected cell. Note that this formula, as written, is volatile so will update automatically as you enter data. Note also that the "blanks" will be displayed at the end so there is no need to specifically test for them. --ron |

Not sure what result you want, if it's the maximum value, enter in B5 MAX(B4:B28) -- tghcogo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tghcogo's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=10494 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=491846 |

Thanks for the tip but I do not think this will work. All it returns is the last setting that was entered. I am still playing with it but I am unsure if it will work Scott "Ron Rosenfeld" wrote: On Thu, 8 Dec 2005 07:29:06 -0800, "scott" wrote: Is this even possible without recording a macro.

No I do not need max value. I just need the settings to elimante the blank cells(no changes made) and to show the setting changes to be at the top of a column. Hope this helps.

Typically with arrays, you must edit the entire array. Highligh the
same range that you started with then press F2 to edit or delete to delete. You cannot delete just one cell of the array. - John |

I am really having trouble deleting this array. I highlighted press F2 and delete and nothing happens.The first array deletes but the others are still there. Excel keeps saying You can not change an array. What am I doing wrong? The array works I just want to put it in a different location.

Thanks for the feedback. And yes, entering formulas that return arrays is not something that is commonly done, but it is a useful feature of Excel; and there are some built-in functions that do the same (LINEST comes to mind). --ron |

In other words, if you initially entered it in Z4:Z28, you need to select that entire range. Then you will be able to delete it. --ron |
