eas Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I did a search and found Blink's eureka: Eureka, turn on the DATABASE HEADERS and selct a ROW header, not a COLUMN header and drag the little icons to the DATABASE HEADER! It worked...I get to sleep tonight! Thanks for the nudge... But I have to day I am still slightly baffled. I have a worksheet set up with a fairly standard interior finish schedule. I want it to sort by room number, the first column. Nothing I seem to do (ie. turning on Database Headers doesn't seem to do anything but give me a nice check mark in the pull down menu.) seems to activate the sort ascending / descending icons. Do they only interact with more complex record/pio based worksheets not the simple fill in the blank thing I am using. Any help much appreciated. Quote Link to comment
eas Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 To answer my own question, worksheet sorting seems to be dependent on using a database not a spreadsheet. So I tried copying out my worksheet into Excel, sorting it there and bringing it back into the worksheet. Seems to work for this simple task. Quote Link to comment
jfmarch Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 you can't sort a worksheet that does not have any database rows in it. Quote Link to comment
eas Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Yes, so I have finally realized. Thanks though. Something for the wish list. Quote Link to comment
