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:

Colouring cells containing formulas

Cells in a worksheet can contain values or they can contain formulas. You may wish to identify all the cells in your worksheet that contain formulas by colouring those cells.

Follow these steps:
1. Choose Edit > Go To menu, or press either F5 or Ctrl+G. Excel displays the Go To dialog box.
2. Click Special. Excel displays the Go To Special dialog box.
3. Select the Formulas radio button option.
4. Select OK.

At this point, every formula cell in the worksheet is selected, and those cells can be coloured formatted as desired.
