    How to sort wthout doing the final manual manipulations?

    Want to sort data according to their date but normal sorting will not put all the data of the same date into the same row. See attachment.

    Please advise/help.

    Thanks.

    Many thanks.

    Tried it but due to my 8000+ rows of data, it came up with an error.

    Found a way around the problem.

    Sort it the normal way ending up with 2 rows of the same date (I want only 1 row per date).

    I copy, transpose the data, shift the second row to the left by 1 cell and then transpose again back to the column mode. Then I have 2 data per date row.

    Many thanks for your help.

    8000 rows of data is nothing for pivot...

    Will try again later and close all other programs. I am using Vista with 2 GB RAM. Should be enough in my view.

    Cheerio.
