It is simply amazing to see, how Excel has made things so easy for all of us. Fantastic video Alan !!!
Thank you very much, Sachin. Long may it continue.
Thank you for this video. I especially liked the advanced sorting using the arrays. Much appreciated.
You are welcome, Paul. Thank you.
Great Tutorial..These New Functions Certainly Make Life Easier!Thank You Alan :-)
Yes, they are awesome. Thank you Darryl.
Thanks. This is a great video for a person like me who almost use sort function every day. The essence lies in using {3,2,1} to sort by columns sequently.
Thanks Mark. Much appreciated.
One of the most valuable Excel tutorial videos I've ever came across with. Much obliged sir!
You're very welcome! Thank you so much.
The dynamic array is just simply AMAZING!
You're right there Yu Sun. I love them 😍
This was the exact video I was looking for! For days! Finally found it! Thanks a ton! :)
Excellent! You're very welcome.
@@Computergaga Subbed! :)

brilliant! Just what I need today with my report :D
Great! Thank you Marc.
I can't call "issues" function on my worksheet, how did you do that?
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you sir
You're welcome, Rahul.
Great sir amazing
Thank you 😊
Excellent sir
Thank you.
Sorting an array.. with Alan Murray! Yay! Yay!
😊 👍
Is there an old school method for sortby function for previous excel version
Great video, do you have a video that explain the use of curly brackets in general? Thanks,
Thank you, Ram. I don't have a specific video for that, but the curly brackets are for arrays. In this video, they are used to create an array of constant values i.e., {2,1}. You will see curly brackets used whenever Excel returns an array.
Excellent tutorial! Do you have a video for sorting alphanumeric data? For example AA-1, AB-1, AC-1, AA-12, AB-13, AC-14...etc.
Thanks.
Thank you. No, not on alphanumeric. Excel uses Custom Lists for text data outside of the typical A-Z, but that sounds awkward if you have many items.
Love your videos……………………….
I would like SORT to be selectable so that I can change the COLUMN that is sorted from a DROP-DOWN selection.
I have got the following working where you select a NUMBER from a DROPDOWN, and it then works in the formula if you use INDIRECT - The problem is this formula is not DYNAMIC. Any suggestions to make a DYNAMIC selectable sort on COLUMN drop down
=SORT(B11:D23,INDIRECT("G8")) this works but is not dynamic G8 is a dropdown 1,2,3 for columns B,C,D
nice video. btw, how it can be realized as a table when you click the column?
Hi. Nice vid. Inspirational as always.
Is the "row" argument intended to assist the new SORT/SORTBY functions in the case two SUMIFS'D products have the same total/count?
I wondered that as soon as I saw you paste in the little bit to find the array and sort the product names base on the SUMIFS piece.
Thank you, David. The row argument is asking if you want to sort by columns or rows. We are sorting the rows, but you could set that to true to sort the columns, which is very rare.
@@Computergaga
Thanks for replying, :).
Ah, I see.
Makes me wonder. Perhaps some people would in those rare cases sort by columns with the intent to impact the data story of charts. Say, a header might be names or places, but a "header-header", if you will, might be a date or a manual number to force presentation.
Cheers!
This is the video I was looking for! Wow! Quick question if you don't mind, anyone.... How can I just return "The Top 5" in a sorted list of values? (doing Baseball stats, and want to return the Top 5 in Hits, and their names). Thanks in advance.
Great! Thank you, Brandan. I have a video on doing that here - ruclips.net/video/sk3z8e2mvng/видео.html
Thank you for the video! I’ve been trying to sort referenced cells for ages whilst (keeping the references intact) and it’s been ordering them by the function not the value of the referenced data!
Do you know how I can use this function to sort discontiguous arrays? Or how in functions I can make it apply to a discontiguous range? E.g: the array would be cells a2:a17 and also cells d:2:17 but I must neglect columns b and c. I’ve tried using a2:a17&d2:d17 as the array, using names ranges, and using indirect () functions and it doesn’t work!
Hi, yes you can do this with CHOOSE. The following formula extracts only ranges D2:A17 and D2:D17. It sorts the array by column 2 (D2:D17) in a descending order.
=SORT(CHOOSE({1,2},A2:A17,D2:D17),2,-1)
I am using Excel 2010 and I have a question regarding sorting with multiple values in a cell... I have a database where participants checked off boxes to a questionnaire. So now I have a cell with multiple values like 1 or 2,10 or 1,2 or 1,2,10 or 1,5 the numbers represent a person's choice or choices.... how would I sort let's say I wanted everyone who chose choice #1?
Amazing video..sir.. kindly share the link for the excel practice sheet...!
Thank you very much, Neha. You can download the file here - www.computergaga.com/_excel/files/365-functions/sort-and-sortby.xlsx
@@Computergaga Unfortunately, this link also does not provide the practice file.
I am crazy about this channel
😜
Why did you not just use SUMIFS in column I - With SPILL# - =SUMIFS(x:x,x:x,H1#) to get the totals for each unique value or was this just to demonstrate SORTBY getting the data ?
What is i want to order by
Total demand
Confirmed PO
Cumulative Delta
In that order each time for each part number I have for materials? When I sort it puts it out on the order I have it in. Can anyone help?
This question is beyond the scope of this comment box. The responder would need the data and more detail.
@@Computergaga I figured it out. Thanks for the response.
