[Solved] Unable to sort

Post by eyedoc46 »

I try to sort data in a column using the sort icon, nothing happens (the data are % results of a calculation). I would like all the rows to be included in sorting the calculation results.
Thanks for your help.

What a cellrange did you selected before the sorting?

If you selected the results (the calculation formulas) only, then it is a normal behavior.
Same formula, on a non-sorted input data: the order of the result will not be changed, because the order of the input data is not changed.
In this case you need use the 'Extend selection' option (or you must select the related cellranges /input data/) too.
