    Finding values in a Range and then sorting Horiztonally (while removing blanks)

    Hi All,

    The title kinda says it all...

    I have a range of cells (bordered) with some unique values that are scattered and want an array formula that will pick them out and sort then numberically and horizontally. It's easier to look at the example provided...

    Also in addition to how to do this can you show me in two steps how to do this so i can learn from it... The first step: how to index the range and find unique values... and the second: how to make the values go hoizontally instead of down a column...

    Thanks in advance!

    1st of all, all your numbers are actually text, that just looks like a number. before you can do anything with them, you need to convert them to values.

    high light the entire range, and if you look at the top left corner of the 1st cell, you will see a yellow diamond - click that and select "convert to numbers"
    Now you can use the =small() function...
    =SMALL($B$2:$O$4,COLUMN(A1)) copied across
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Happy to help and thanks for the feedback

    Perhaps if you explained a bit more, we could figure out what went wrong for you?

    Actually, the formula FDibbins provided works just fine. It is the "numbers" on the spreadsheet which are text and need to be converted to real numbers. That's all.
