    Sorting a range to invert it upside down without sorting by any specific column

    I have a bunch of data in A1:D20. Is it possible to sort it without VB and without using any particular column in the worsheet to sort it by so that the data basically turns upside down. That is - row 1 data now appears in row 20, row 2 data in row 19, row 3 in row 18 and so on?

    Thank you

    You either quit or become really good at it. There are no other choices.

    How about :-

    Add another column, enter numbers 1 to 20, and sort on that column, descending.

    Then if you want to revert to original you can sort ascending.

    Thanks, Chris. That's what I used to do in the past, but trying to figure out a way to save some steps and time.

    Hi luv2glyd

    Do you mean just invert the columns!
    For example: data in A1:B20
    In C1 and copy down and across:
    =INDEX(A$1:A$20,ROWS(1:$20))
    Regards Kevin
