Excel formatting/Formular

How can I sort large data by heading?

RE: Excel formatting/Formular

Hi Kasumi

Thank you for your question.

Before you do this, it is a good idea to make sure your headings are formatted in bold so that Excel can tell that they are the headings and not part of the data to be sorted.

Select any cell (with data in it) under the heading that you wish to sort by, then you can use the Sort Ascending or Sort Descending buttons (they have A and Z on them) to sort in either ascending or descending order.

Excel tip:

Ctrl+d's double life

Suppose I have a formula in B1 that I wish to copy into B2:B10. I can select B1:B10 then press Ctrl+d to copy the formula down the selected range. Users generally ignore this shortcut in favour of double-clicking on the fill handle to copy down, but Ctrl+d is useful sometimes particularly when there is no data in surrounding columns to guide to how far the double-click method should copy formulae.

Ctrl+d has another use though. When I use the drawing toolbar to draw objects such as Text Boxes, Rectangles and Ovals onto a worksheet, Ctrl+d makes an instant duplicate of selected shapes. For example, I need five Text Boxes the same size. I draw one Text box and adjust it to the size I want, select it, then press Ctrl+d four times to get four identical copies.
