How sort dates just by day/month and NOT year if all 3 given in ce
How can I sort dates in a column just by the day and month and NOT the year
if all three items are given in each cell? Example, I want to sort the following dates so that all Jan dates are together, Feb dates are together (and so on) with the DAYS of the month in order, NOT oldest/youngest by YEAR: 01/31/04...01/02/05...01/25/98...04/22/68... The list should give me 01/02/05, 01/25/98, 01/31/04, 04/22/68. Make sense? Maybe I need to re-format the date column to something else??? Thanks. -- smags |

You need to create a help column, if the dates are in A2:A100, insert a help
column B and use =DATE(1,MONTH(A2),DAY(A2)) copy down select the columns and sort by B ascending -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please, for everyone's benefit keep the discussion in the newsgroup/forum) "smags" wrote in message ...
