Automatically sort a range

[OBigO]

Hi! In my spreadsheet I have a range of cells which I am sorting by one column then another and then another. When I put data into other cells which effect the results I am sorting I have to select the area again and custom sort. Is there a way to make those cells automatically sort when the data changes?

Thanks!

Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.

Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

The data I want to sort is on sheet 2...from B2 to K20. I am sorting by points (column d) then 1st 2mds 3rds etc. So that the names are in order of position.

Thanks a lot!

Try this in your Sheet2 module:

* And save the book as macro-enabled

Hi! Sorry I couldn't work out what I am meant to do! I have never used a macro before, could you explain how I should create it? Thanks!

Worked it out, cheers!

Glad you worked it out - here's what I post when I realize that someone may not have used macros before:

If you haven't used macros before you'll need to go to:
File- options - trust center -trust center settings - macro settings ,
the second option down (disable all macros with notification)
'[email protected]
Then - Copy the code to the clipboard

Open your Workbook

Press ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Select "Module" from the Insert menu

Type "Option Explicit" then paste the code under it

With the cursor between Sub and End Sub press F5 (F8 to Single Step)

OR

Press ALT + Q to close the code window.

Press ALT + F8 then double click on the macro name

*But in your case we want to put the code in the Sheet2 Class module

because events can't be attached to standard modules
