If you only use MB you can use numbers instead of text and use a custom
format like 0 "Mb" then it will sort as 10 Mb 10 Mb 114 Mb 128 Mb 128 Mb 1000 Mb 1000 Mb otherwise you need to use a help column that will extract the numeric part and then select both columns and sort by the help column -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom http://nwexcelsolutions.com "Smohrman" wrote in message ... I'll probably slap myself when someone shows me how to do this, but I'm stuck... I've got a series of values in a column as follows: 10 Mb 10 Mb 1000 Mb 1000 Mb 114 Mb 128 Mb 128 Mb Obviously 1000 mb is more than 10 mb, but it sorts as second in the list because it starts with a "1". How do I tell Excel to sort by the entire numerical value instead of the first number? Thanks in advance :-D |
