    Formula to sort data

    I'm looking for a formula to sort 3 columns based on 1 column of numbers.

    D, E, F columns should sort on column C. I can do this using macros but I'm trying to stay away from macros in this sheet. Column C is just 1 - 11. I tried using the (RANK) function but couldn't get it to work.

    Anyone have experience with using a formula to sort?

    Very true. However, I'm not clairvoyant ...

    Please provide a sample workbook.

    Some reason I can't attach my example file. I was thinking if I used column M and match the numbers or rank them it would work to sort...

    I'm guessing. Try this in say cell H2. Fill down and across.

    And there is an extra 3 in row 9 that I think you intended to be an 8.
