SOrting by currency symbol
I have a list of currency amounts.
Any in £ or Euro have the cell formatted to currency, Any in $ are formatted as general.
I want to sort the file by currency symbol but due to the difference in formatting Excel just formats by amount.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Rich.
RE: SOrting by currency symbol
Hi Richard, thanks for your query. Couple of thoughts, you could use a linked formula to trim off the $ symbol and then reformat those cells into currencies. Alternatively, use the $ sign as a delimiter, split the cells up to separate the values out and then reformat out. Basically, you need to get the raw data out of those cells with mixed text & numbers and then use data formatting before you filter. If you have large amounts of data consider building a macro as well.
Hope this helps,
Anthony
