rearrange data by day

[Adent]

Hi I have daily data for some ten years listed downwards, and I woul
now like to know if there is possible to rearrange them so that I ca
get all the data for each day alone I.e. one group of just Monday dat
and another group and just Tuesday data as one group, all the number
are currently listed from A1 to A2000. I only Monday to Friday as m
days
All help is greatly appreciated!!!

If my explanation weren’t good enough, this is what my data look
like now
Tuesday 12/31/2002 279,73
Monday 12/30/2002 279,73
Friday 12/27/2002 281,982
Thursday 12/26/2002 278,829
Wednesday 12/25/2002 278,829

Perhaps you could sort it by day or use a filter to select only the data for
that day.

If you don't have them already, add a row of headings to your table.

Then, you can use and AutoFilter to view the data for a specific
weekday. There are instructions in Excel's Help, and here:

Hi Adent,
I am confused with the data layout, since it was stated all numbers are
in column A. Don't know if you have Excel dates (numbers) formatted
to show dddd mm/dd/yyyy and an additional column with an amout.

If that is all one formatted date, you would
need to create a helper column to assign a day of week value to.
C2: =WEEKDAY(A2,1)

You could then sort the entire sheet on the helper column
and use Data, Subtotal for the report.

Since you want Tuesday to come before Monday, and have not said
what you want to do with the other days I can't help you with a
substitution for the WEEKDAY number. The 1 is going to start
the week on Sunday, which is a rather safe assumption since you
have a US date format. But you really should check HELP anyway
if not familiar with something.

If everything is in Column a then everything is text and you can split
apart with Data, Text to Columns.
