How do I make my list on Excel alphabetical

RE: Excel

Hi Julia,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum:

In answer to your question: Sorting is one of the main functions that we can perform in a List (Database) in Excel, If you have set up your list to conform to the required rules, Heading, no gaps row or column etc. Then select the Field (Column) you wish to sort by, and from the Standard Toolbar click the Sort Ascending A-Z or Sort Descending Z-A buttons to perform your Sort.

I hope that has helped, regards Pete

Excel tip:

Hide data in Excel Worksheets

Let's say you have some data in cell 'C5' you would like to hide from the casual viewer.

Click cell 'C5' to select it.

Click the 'Format' menu, select 'Cells'. When the 'Format Cells' dialogue box opens, click the 'Numbers' tab (if necessary), then select 'Custom' from the 'Category' list.

Double-click the 'Type' entry box and type three semi-colons: ";;;"

Click 'OK' to close the dialogue box and accept the new formatting.

The data in cell 'C5' disappears. It's still there and will work in calculations, but it isn't visible.

If you need to check the data, just click the blank cell and the contents appear in the 'Formula bar'.
