finding, sorting, put only part of a cell

[Guest]

Hello Everyone,

I hope you can help me with this. I have a report from SAP in Text format.
One column needs to be sort buy 2 or 3 letters with in the discription the
cell.
I have this formula
=+IF(ISERROR(FIND("COL",M2)), "PP","COL")
I get a result but not a sort.

example of what is inside the cell:
U:01: U-FedEx Ground (PP) 5d
U:01: U-FedEx Std (COL) 1d
U:73: U-UPS Blue (COL) 2d
U:MX: U-FedEx SPAN Def (PP) 3d


thanks
Debbie

I forgot to mention that the colum can go pass 9,000 rows.

Formula works just fine. And, you would like what? Result to be sorted
alphabetic? You'll need macro for that job.

Thank yo for the reply - I would like the formula to sort, but only by "PP" &
"COL"
