Sorry for the newb question. but is there a way to have on column the
alphebetised version of another column? thanks in advance
 
Assuming that A1:A10 contains your data, try the following...

B1, copied down:

=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$10,"<"&A1)+1

C1, copied down:

=INDEX($A$1:$A$10,MATCH(ROW()-ROW($C$1)+1,$B$1:$B$10,0))

Hope this helps!
 
No apologies needed regardless of the level of the question, but you may
have to clarify exactly what you mean, as personally I'm a tad confused to
be honest.
 
Actually, with the data containing text values, I hadn't thought about
repeated data. In this case, the formula for B1 could be changed to the
following...

=(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$10,"<"&A1)+1)+(COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)-1)

Thanks for catching that Bob! Much appreciated! :)
 
I always like a nice solution :-).

Regards

Bob
