Sorting
I have a problem sorting in Excel. When I try to sort my list in Excel it
sorts like this: 1.1.1 1.1.11 1.1.2 11.1.1 2.1.1 I would like it to sort like this: 1.1.1 1.1.2 1.1.11 2.1.1 11.1.1 Is that possible? -- Kim |

Sorting
I don't think you really want to use Text to Columns,
and then sort on three columns. The following will work even though most IP addresses have four nodes, the sort will aligned on left though for normalized numbers. I think if you had a mix of 3 nodes and 4 nodes you would not get what you want. see Sorting TCP/IP Addresses, and the like http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/sorttcp.htm --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Jim Cone" wrote in message ...
