Sorting Data

Why does my header line sometimes mix in with the data when i sort columns?

RE: Sorting Data

Hello Samantha,

When you sort using the Sort button you need to ensure the checkbox is ticked in the top right, that reads, My data has headers. By ticking this option the program will ignore the header row and leave it where it is.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Excel tip:

Hiding Formulae in the Formula Bar

It is possible to protect the contents of a cell reference(s) from amendment by applying cell protection. The contents of the cell reference can also be stopped from displaying in the formula bar.

Step 1: Select Format > Cells > Protection.

Step 2: Tick Hidden option. Ensure Locked is ticked

Step 3: Select Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet

(Ensure "Protect worksheet and contents of locked cells" is ticked)
