Please HElp.
I am using excel as a magazine order data base. I would like to place all the
rows in alphabetical order base on collumm A, the first collumm. I am using excel 2000. I know how to do this using Excel 2003, so i dont know what the difference should be? SO far if i click on the first cell or row number and hit the ascending button it will put collumm A in alphabetical order. But ,I need all the other collumms to follow with the collumm A. Thanks for any help .-- Gonzo~ |

Gonzo,
Nearly there...just make sure you select ALL of your data before sorting into alphabetical order (i.e. select all data in range, sort by column A (ascending)). Excel also lets you sort by more than one key i.e. column A is your primary key, you may want B to be a secondary key etc. e.g. Column A contains surnames: Smith Smith Column B contains initial C D Sorting by column A alone won't necessarily get the right results - sort by column A, then B etc. - just thought I'd let you know...

Press F1 or click Help, then select the Index tab - I'm sure this will
be the same as in XL2003 (I also have XL2000). Hope this helps. Pete Gonzo wrote: Stupid question?
