I have a report that contains names,SSN's, and dates. I need to sort the
sheet by the last 2 of the SSN. Can this be done?
 
Bridget,

Insert a 'helper' column next to the SSN No and extract the 2 rightmost
digits to it select all your columns and sort by that

To extract last 2 digits use
=RIGHT(A1,2)
You may have to tell Excel to sort anything that looks like a number as a
number

If the SS numbers are in a column by themselves, add a helper column with this
formula.

=RIGHT(B2,2) when Column B is SSN's

Assumes D is helper column and D1 contains a header.

Sort on column D
