From: ozgrid.com on 17 Apr 2010 21:21 I'm assuming you have blanks in Column "B" representing repeated Suburbs. http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/excel-fill-blank-cells.htm -- Regards Dave Hawley www.ozgrid.com "Father John" <w(a)b.com> wrote in message news:2lsyn.19950$pv.11001(a)news-server.bigpond.net.au... > Hi > > I have a spreadsheet with numerous addresses in col.

From: JLatham on 17 Apr 2010 21:38 From my reply in the duplicate post in Worksheet Functions: select all of the cells involved in both columns (and any more with related data), then use Data Sort and sort on Column B. To put the street addresses in some kind of order within the suburb, choose Column A as the second sort parameter. "Father John" wrote: > Hi > > I have a spreadsheet with numerous addresses in col.

From: Father John on 18 Apr 2010 00:17 Hi there I don't think this will work as it will sort the total suburbs in B and the addresses by street number in A The data in B does not align with col. A as B only contains the name of the suburbs in the region Thanks Stephen "JLatham" <JLatham(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:09719682-5968-4D37-BDD4-95AEBA5B1CB1(a)microsoft.com... > From my reply in the duplicate post in Worksheet Functions: > > select all of the cells involved in both columns (and any more with > related > data), then use Data Sort and sort on Column B.

From: Father John on 18 Apr 2010 00:20 No the problem is the data I want to sort the column by is contained within the address - it is not the lead part of the data Col B has the full list of the suburbs that I am trying to d the sort with The data in col. B does not form a part of the record for each line Thanks Stephen "ozgrid.com" <dave(a)ozgrid.com> wrote in message news:86DB0FBA-0BCA-40D2-B164-BB958F5ADF64(a)microsoft.com... > I'm assuming you have blanks in Column "B" representing repeated Suburbs. > http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/excel-fill-blank-cells.htm > > > > > > -- > Regards > Dave Hawley > www.ozgrid.com > "Father John" <w(a)b.com> wrote in message > news:2lsyn.19950$pv.11001(a)news-server.bigpond.net.au... >> Hi >> >> I have a spreadsheet with numerous addresses in col.
