Hi,

Is there any way to convert the column order?

For example:

ColumnA;ColumnB;ColumnC;ColumnD;....

How to have like the inverse order:

.....;ColumnD;ColumnC;ColumnB;ColumnA

Nota: If there's any formula, it should be keeped


Thank you very much in advance

Ok,

You suppose that you have 4 columns in the foloowing order: A(Name);
B(LastName); C(Grade); D(Marks).

Now, I would like to have colmuns in the inverse order, like:
D(Marks); C(Grade); B(LastName);A(Name)

I hope it's more clear now

I'm waiting for your help

You could also select the column you want to move and shift-click on one of its
borders. Then drag it to its new position. (let go of the mouse button before
you let go of the shift key.)

You cannot change the letter associated with a column. A is by definition the
leftmost column, B the second one from the left, etc. So no, you cannot have
D(Marks); C(Grade); B(LastName);A(Name)
But you rearrange the data that appears in each column, like this:
A(Marks); B(Grade); C(LastName);D(Name)
See DOn Peterson's post for instructions on moving columns around the
worksheet.

To reverse the data order in the columns.........

Assuming 6 columns

Insert a row at top of range.

Enter the numbers 1 to 6 across.

Select the columns then Data>Sort>Options>Sort left to right.

Sort on the row with numbers in Descending order.
