    Red face How to swap rows/columns??

    Hi peoples, I have some data with the date/time opposite to te direction I would like, ie:

    15/09/2009 23:50 0.6 245.9
    15/09/2009 23:40 0.7 239.3
    15/09/2009 23:30 0.7 241.4
    15/09/2009 23:20 1.1 251.0
    15/09/2009 23:10 0.8 250.2
    15/09/2009 23:00 0.6 249.5
    15/09/2009 22:50 2.0 251.4
    15/09/2009 22:40 2.7 251.5

    Surely there must be some easy way to invert/swap the rows, ie such that it is like:

    15/09/2009 22:40 2.7 251.5
    15/09/2009 22:50 2.0 251.4
    15/09/2009 23:00 0.6 249.5
    15/09/2009 23:10 0.8 250.2
    etc..

    Maybe some kind of matrix operation?? Any help much appreciated.

    Regards

    Sorry for wasting your time guys, im an idiot! I just figured a really simple way around this by just adding another numbered column, and using sort!! Stupid!

    Hi,

    it is not clear if the data is in separate columns. Assuming that you have separate columns for

    Date - time - value1 - value2

    or even

    Date/time - value1 - value2

    you can do this:

    Select your whole data, all rows and all columns
    Click Data - Sort
    select which columns to sort by, i.e. if the date is in a separate column from the time, select the date column first, then the time column
    tick whether or not your data range has a Header row, i.e. labels in the first row.

    Hit OK

    viola
