    Smile Sort column with Date, Time and Text

    Hi,

    I have one column that includes Date, Time and Text in that order but I believe all are seen as Text in Excel. I just want to sort from A to Z but using the Date as my value in my column but I can't seem to do that in Custom Sort. Any ideas?

    Thank you for your help.

    Try adding a helper column with formula:

    =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1))+0

    copied down and then sort by that column
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
