    Saving Multiple Sorts

    Hi everyone,

    I have a master spreadsheet that contains a ton of information. Depending on the audience for a meeting, I want the rows sorted in different ways. Is there a way to save "Sort 1" which sorts by criteria A, then B, then C, and then save "Sort 2" which sorts by criteria D, E, then F?

    Basically, I want to be able to toggle between multiple sorts without having to recreate these sorts every time I switch between them.

    Thanks in advance!
    David

    You could highlight the sorted data then click on Copy then use Paste Special | Values and Paste Special | Formats to another sheet.

    Hope this helps.

    You could create sort macros and assign them to buttons. Just click on the button to sort in that order.

    Thanks for the responses.

    pete - i am looking to stay away from making multiple instances of the spreadsheet since the data changes daily.

    keenan - i think that is my best course of action right now, thanks for the suggestion.

    My original thought was to create a concatenation column of all of my sort criteria way off to the right, and then sort on whichever concatenation column I wanted. I don't think it will work in all cases though because the data in my grid is a mix of numbers and text.
