Sorting
how do you sort a table of data by one of its columns? eg names
RE: sorting
Hi Dagmar,
Thank you for your question;
In answer; If your table is laid out with each column having a field header, and relevant data below the header, you should format the header slightly differently from the data below (ie bold is sufficient) then click in the column you wish to sort, in your case Names and on the standard toolbar click one of the sort buttons (sort ascending or sort descending). If you table is constructed correctly with no gaps between headings and data it will sort the column and maintain data in the rows correctly. I hope that has helped ...Pete

Excel tip:COUNT function vs COUNTA functionThe COUNTA function works in the same way as the COUNT function, except that it will count cells that contain text (labels) and also cells that contain numbers (values). The COUNT function will only count cells that contain numbers. Blank cells are not counted by either the COUNT or the COUNTA function. |
