Sort WorkSheetName unknown

How can I make the following work on any worksheet and on whatever the new
range might be "A11:Axxx" - "A11:Jxxx"

Range("A11").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("JAN").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("JAN").Sort.SortFields.Add
Key:=Range("A11:A68") _
, SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("JAN").Sort
.SetRange Range("A10:J68")
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With

instead of activeworkbook.worksheets(bla) you could use activesheet
which would take the sheet that has been activated the last as
reference.

and if you want to sort the whole used area you could use usedrange as
range.

If that doesn't help, try to give some more information.

I tried but the "usedrange" doesn't work...I changed the lines:

Range("A11").Select
Activesheet.Sort.SortFields.Clear
Activesheet.Sort.SortFields.Add
Key:=usedrange _
, SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending,
DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With Activesheet.Sort
.SetRange usedrange
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With

Hi Helmut

Try
Sub test()
Dim lr As Long, lc As Long
lc = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find("*", [A11], , , xlByColumns, xlPrevious).Column
lr = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find("*", [A11], , , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row

Range("A11").Select
ActiveSheet.Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveSheet.Sort.SortFields.Add _
Key:=Range(Cells(11, 1), Cells(lr, 1)) _
, SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With ActiveSheet.Sort
.SetRange Range(Cells(11, 1), Cells(lr, lc))
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With

End Sub

Hi roger,
your suggestion runs without error but does NOTactually sort.
Any further suggestions?

Hi Helmut

It sorted fine on the sample of data I used to test it.
Were you on the correct sheet when you ran the macro?
What happens if you step through the macro with F8? What do you see in the
immediate window for lr and lc?

it looks like your usedrange hasn't been recognised (as it is still in
small letters)
try:

Range("A11").Select
Activesheet.Sort.SortFields.Clear
Activesheet.Sort.SortFields.Add
Key:=activesheet.usedrange _
, SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending,
DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With Activesheet.Sort
.SetRange usedrange
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With

File received, sorted and reply sent by email

The problem was entirely mine.
With Helmut selecting Range("A11"), I had also in advertently typed A11
instead of A1 into the calculation of lastrow and lastcolumn

It should of course had read
lc = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find("*", [A1], , , xlByColumns, xlPrevious).Column
lr = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find("*", [A1], , , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row
