    Data sort, empty formula cells to bottom merged cells!

    Hi,

    I have a made a list and it contains this formula: =Machinelijst!B8
    Because there are colloms next to this collom I used this to sort the colloms together:

    But there a few cells that still empty or a "0" I hided this "0" by go options-> advanced->.. don't show 0' in formulas.
    But if I want to sort this kolloms it puts the empty ones at the top.

    Is there a way to make them got to the bottom?

    You can reverse the sort order to descending rather than ascending.

    1. sort the data descending
    2. Select only the cells with data
    3. Resort Ascending

    That should give you what you're after
