I have a worksheet containing the PO order information. Column A is storing the PO number which is usually a number but sometimes includes characters, like
123
123R
246
156
I want the sorting result accroding to the ASCII order, like
123
123R
156
246
But the result is like
123
156
246
123R
I just learnt that I should format the cells with Number As Text before filling in the value. As there are a lot of data already entered, is there any workaround to overcome the situation?
I had tried to create another dummy column and format it with Number as Text. Then copy the PO Number Column to that dummy column with Paste Specail -> Value. The sorting wrong is still wrong.
I had also tried to add the character ` to the beginning of each cell value. The sorting is then correct, but it makes my application extremely slow.
(My Application is just "FIND" a particular PO, recall the row data into a user form, modify the data and save it back to that row).
Thanks
