Sort With Blanks

Hello, I am trying to sort data that have blank cells between the data. How do I sort the information and keep the blanks between the data. Thanks.

Hi there,

You could create a helper column which you use to sort. In the helper column put the following formula (assuming the column you actually want to sort is A):

=IF(A2="",A1&"blank",A2)

This will duplicate the populated cells in column A, and create the entry plus the word "blank" at the end where the cells are blank. When you sort the helper column it will keep the entryblank value below the actual entry and in column A retain the empty cell.

Note: this solution only works where there is a single blank row inbetween entries...

Hope that makes sense.
