I am sorting by a column with numbers in. I understand why the sorting puts 8.10 before 8.2, however is there a way to overcome this? I don't really want to have to ut 8.01 etc
I did try all the sort types but none gave the desired results
That looks like you are sorting the column as a string rather than a number, though i wouldnt be able to say for sure without a JS Fiddle to demonstrate the issue.
The solution is to set the sorter to number in the columns definition object. In the example below i am going to assume the column is called score:
{title:"Score", field:"score", sorter:"number"}
That should the correctly sort by number

Hello everyone and thanks a lot in advance for any help.
I'm not very good using Excel. I want to know if there is a simple way in which I can sort a small two-column data matrix following the order of a column that contains all the bird species in Colombia. I study birds and I usually do avifauna characterization studies. I've always had this problem of not being able to order efficiently using the taxonomic order of species. I have always done it by hand and it takes me a really long time.
This is the file with the example that ilustrates my problem: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1089VD4ylJiW9Xw9xRFI0ehraAc_t-qSa/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=112790797352647984659&rtpof=true&sd=true
There are two worksheets in this file. One called "Species" and the other "Data". I need to know if it is possible to make Data array can be sorted following the Species column.
I have tried creating custom lists and the number of entries to create a certain order does not allow me to put more than 100. I have also tried using commands Sort and Sortby without any success.
Again, thanks a lot for any help.
Regrets.
On the Data worksheet, add a helper column:
C2: =MATCH(A2,Species!$A$1:$A$2000,0)
and fill down.
Then Sort by the helper column
I know drawdown isn't the correct word, but I also don't know the correct word to use so if you know it tell me as well please.
What I'm trying to do is for a list of open work orders, apply an incoming PO to fill that work order, and then when the quantity in that first PO is exhausted roll to the next PO. I have tables that look similar to these, although the order of the columns can change if need be. Typically the order of the work orders are sorted in date order, as well as PO. Double points if this can be achieved without using VBA, and could just be a formula. Helper columns and tables are also fine. thanks!
then my PO's are something like this
and I would like the result to look something like this (although the remaining column isn't necessary, it would be helpful)
I am trying to fill the sell price column in an Excel spreadsheet with the increased values in colors based on the round up columns value (1 to 50 green, 50 to 100 blue, 100 to 150 yellow, 150+ pink).
I've opted for the percentage table because some items can be sold for a lot more than what I have purchased them for, so that's just for my benefit. I am open to any other suggestions and I am new to this whole business thing.
I was using IF in my formula which would work great for using one percentage increase in the formula:
=IF($E27<50,ROUNDUP(I$27,-1))
If I try to enter a second argument like
=IF(OR($E28<50,ROUNDUP(I$28,-1)OR($E28>50,<100,ROUNDUP(J$28,-1))))
I will get an error.
I'm probably using the formulas wrong, I've tried "AND" and a couple other formulas, but I can't find anyone else trying to achieve the same or similar.
So something like this:
=IF($E28<50,ROUNDUP(I$28,-1),IF($E28>50,ROUNDUP(J$28,-1),"Error"))
But not sure what the <100 was for.
Although the problem is not completely clear, I understand that you want to add a formula with nested if statements.
I will recommend you to try nested ifs in parts.
=IF($E27<50,ROUNDUP(I$27,-1),"First if condition is false")
If everything is working as per the requirement then edit that text in the formula to add another if statement.
=IF($E27<50,ROUNDUP(I$27,-1),IF(OR(condition 1, condition 2,more conditions),"value if true","value if false"))
In the second argument provided by you, the arguments of the OR function has not been properly provided. Ensure that all the arguments of an OR function are conditions separated by a comma.
$E28<50 This is a condition so it's ok.
But other arguments are not making sense.
Also, using OR multiple times inside the first OR arguments is not clear.
It would be beneficial if you could provide the basic table and mention the requirement clearly.
I am using a football dataset where I have changed all the countries to specific geographical areas in their column headers. What I want to do is I want to add up all the columns with the same geographic value with all the values added up.
This is how my data looks like:
The value of #players should still remain the same after condensing the data. I tried using the data function, but I could not figure it out.
My output should ideally look like a column with all the EUs added up, the AFRs added up etc.
It's actually unclear as to exactly what it is you're trying to do.
Here is an example use of SUMIF that addresses one possible interpretation:
=SUMIF($B$1:$E$1,F$1,$B2:$E2)
And here is an image showing how and were that formula would be used in this sample table:
If this doesn't address what you're aimed for, could you make an effort to do as I have done and show a small sample with the expected results.
I was able to solve it using the SUM function.
I used SUM(C2,C6,C7....) every column that had an EU in it and did the same for the other headers.
I've looked through the forums but couldn't find any questions (with answers) that helped. Any guidance would be appreciated.
I'm working on an Excel/Access project that cross references error codes. The codes are twelve digits long, with the first half and second half that need to be sortable. 99% of these codes are entirely numeric, but the 1% that includes letters is really screwing me up.
For example, a common error code might be "386748000123". This would be split into "386748" and "000123", with the first being the code for the type of system and the second being the type of error.
But then the 1% are something like this: "0957AB003A41". "0957AB", and "003A41".
If I format the columns (in Excel and Access) as numbers than the numeric comparisons are far easier, "000123" equals "123". If I format the column as strings than I can compare the alphanumeric values but then "000123" and "123" stop crossing.
The possible solution I've come across is utilizing the Val function inside an Access query to purely compare values but I've never used it and it seems like only a partial fix. Val ignores the strings, which means "0957AB" will have the same value as "0957XY" - and that doesn't work for this project.
I'm sure many of you have had similar issues, so I'm hoping to get some ideas on different ways the problem has been approached and resolved.
You have not provided a minimal sample of the data and also the output, also there is no code that I can amend it for you, but the only part that you are having problem is comparing the alphanumeric ones, you should format all of your data as strings and then compare. to make 123 be equal to "000123" you need to just format the numeric ones as string as below:
format(123,"000000")
which will give you "000123"
Edit
from you comment I learned that the problem is the key that is always or often a number, format will return the proper string for comparison, if it is already a 6-character string it will return itself so there would not be a problem:
do something like this:
if format(key,"0000000")=format(code,"000000") then
'do something
end if
