    Re: Sort a playlist by a key word

    You've Ex2013 and maybe you've add-in PowerQuery also so you can try this to solve your problem.
    here is example

    usage:
    • add any title to source table
    • click on result table and refresh

    Re: Sort a playlist by a key word

    Hi thanks
    First to use what u sent 2 me i've to transfer a list in a word sheet to the source table
    Ok i managed this but maybe cause the blank rows or some reason else it does not work
    Second how can i specify the key word?
    Third even if i succeeded to do it i've to transfer back to a word sheet without the table
    sorry if it's too much

    Re: Sort a playlist by a key word

    Attach a sample workbook and maybe word docx. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    then define your needs (without shortcuts )

    Re: Sort a playlist by a key word

    1. you want sort by artist (without "The")
    2. do you need these numbers in front of ?
    3. what means: sort by keyword ?

    your second example is not sorted by A-Z

    Re: Sort a playlist by a key word

    Ok, maybe this one is that what you want (if I understood well)

    save word as text
    copy list from txt file into excel
    refresh query table
    copy list from query table and paste into word as Keep Text Only

    if you want automate so wait for VBA solution
    btw. question marks - text in your language - my Excel doesn't support it

    your second example is not sorted by A-Z
    1 right
    2 yes it's the row number of the media
    3 keyword can be "young " and all the media including this word would be
    a sorted first
    b if there are many of them by ascending row 10 before 42 for example

    So i'll be able to sort the rest of the list by another keyword
    By the end i'll get a list of medias each row by a different artist

    my second example shows groups of medias each one by a different artist
    and the rest of the list is not sorted by row number cause i do this manually but i'd want to get them sorted not a..z but 1..2
    sorry for my poor english

    Re: Sort a playlist by a key word

    One more thing....
    refresh query table then use CustomFilter as filter for keyword(s) [there are many options]
    if you want back to default list just refresh query table again (or clear filter)
