    Sorting an excel datasheet

    I can't seem to sort the excel datasheet in the right way. It needs to be in a particular way so the products can be merged while uploading. In the screenshot, I show you how it is now and how it needs to be. There are around 65k rows, sorting one by one isn't an option. I also provide a sample file with few products inside. The SKU always stays above the parent_sku. It works as follow: Parent product (SKU) is being imported and the variations (parent_sku) of the parent product follow.

    Re: Sorting an excel datasheet

    So which of those 2 csv files is your input file?

    The bad way.png is a pretty useless file. It just lists the number 1.09 in a column and says it's the bad way. With no explanation.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Re: Sorting an excel datasheet

    Hi Special-K

    I'm sorry for the incomprehensibility. It's just a way of showing the order of the rows. As I said in my post, the "SKU" column needs to be above the "parent_sku" column. That way the main product (SKU) is uploaded first and the variations (parent_sku) are linked to the main product. The excel file is my input file, afterwards it'll be converted into .csv as u see in the uploaded files (working product.csv).

    Kind Regards,
    Aydan

    Most site have forum rules which you agreed to when you signed up. Our site specifically has this rule.

    https://www.excelforum.com/forum-rul...rum-rules.html

    And btw, a picture does not help at all. How about just pasting the clear text.

    chandoo.org/forum/threads/sorting-an-excel-datasheet.41196/

    That way, whoever may be helping you can check to see if they are wasting their time. Six forums. You've been a busy beaver.
