    Re: Sorting alphabetic

    Hi,

    What exactly is the problem that a standard SORT won't achieve?

    Re: Sorting alphabetic

    hi,
    here is a possible solution:
    Sort the data using 2 level sorting: level 1 for the Yes/No column, and level 2 for the ABC column. Thus you will have all the YES's and then all the NO's.

    Re: Sorting alphabetic

    Hi,

    I still don't understand. You say you have a sorting problem but your example seems to suggest you want to produce the 5 column table in I:M. Is this in fact what you're trying to achieve?

    If so you'll need to both filter and sort the data.

    But if not why not just sort A2:B12 using B as the first sort key and A as the second.

    Regards

    Hi,

    Column D and G good (Yes/No)

    Column E and H no good sorting.(First A-AA) or (AA-A)
