    Vertical List to Sort Horizontally on another sheet

    I have an excel formula that I have that will automatically sort alphabetically by department then by name. But am lost on how to take the vertical list I have and have it sort horizontally. Attached is a sample sheet that in Columns I & J have my formula to sort it vertically, but how do I take that and make it sort horizontally in Rows 1 & 2 (highlighted yellow).

    Let me know if I need to provide more information!

    Hmm hopefully someone can help me. I have tried searching google, but everything I see is just using transpose which I want to be able to automate this and not have to redo it every time.

    You don't have a yellow highlighted area
    However, in L1 you could put

    =IF(COUNTA($I$2:$I$23)>=COLUMNS($A$1:A1),INDEX($I$2:$I$23, COLUMNS($A$1:A1)),"")
    copied to the right
    In L2
    =IF(COUNTA($J$2:$J$23)>=COLUMNS($A$1:A1),INDEX($J$2:$J$23, COLUMNS($A$1:A1)),"")
    copied to the right.
    Does that work for you?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    Im sorry I thought I changed it and saved it after highlighting the cells, but the cells that were supposed to be highlighted were B1:E2 and had the names in order by department. But what you have seems to work good! Thank you very much!

    Actually, It lists them right, but what about sorting them? I am going to mess with it myself and see if I can get it to work, but in the mean time if you have a quick fix that would be great. Sort by department then by name.
