Sort by conditional formats?
I haven't seen anyone come close to this question, but is there a way to get
a sheet to sort by conditional formats I've set up. For instance, I've used Green, Yellow, and Red. Is there an easy way to get it to sort it just by the color, and not by the numbers contained in the cells? |

Sort by conditional formats?
can you sort by the condition that sets the format instead?

At least it didn't in my brief testing. I think the OP will need to use a helper column (or UDF) that sorts based on the conditional format formula. --ron |

Ron,
The UDF just gets the CI, so would also need a helper column to sort on. I thought the article said that, but I will check it. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Ron Rosenfeld" wrote in message ...

Oh yes, it doesn't do that (yet!) I have a page on that that I need to
integrate. Just need the time <g Bob "Ron Rosenfeld" wrote in message ...
