I have this array and as you can see I have 3 sorts, is it possible to sort only from row 12 because I want Row 11 to still come in with the array but to stay at the top roe.
This is my formula =SORT(SORT(SORT(FILTER(CHOOSECOLS('Data Analysis'!$G$11:$FK$1000,1,2,5,6,3,4,28,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,23),'Data Analysis'!$G$11:$G$1000<>""),2),3),5)
Any help would be appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
I'm swagging this since there is no data to work with. But, using VSTACK to add a header row could be a solution:
=VSTACK(
CHOOSECOLS('Data Analysis'1$G11:$FK11,1,2,5,6,3,4,28,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,23),
SORT(SORT(SORT(FILTER(CHOOSECOLS('Data Analysis'!$G$11:$FK$1000,1,2,5,6,3,4,28,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,23),'Data Analysis'!$G$11:$G$1000<>""),2),3),5)
)

But this means you will get a duplicate of row 11. Do you need to include row 11 in the 2nd part of the VSTACK if it is already the first part?


exlcuding it from the 2nd part is this:

=VSTACK(
CHOOSECOLS('Data Analysis'1$G11:$FK11,1,2,5,6,3,4,28,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,23),
SORT(SORT(SORT(FILTER(CHOOSECOLS('Data Analysis'!$G$12:$FK$1000,1,2,5,6,3,4,28,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,23),'Data Analysis'!$G$12:$G$1000<>""),2),3),5)
)

Solution
That's a perfect solution. Thanks for your prompt reply and help.
I used this formula
=VSTACK(FILTER(CHOOSECOLS('Data Analysis'!$G$11:$FK$11,1,2,5,6,3,4,25,46,11,12,13,14,48,46,7,8,9,10,47,52,101,102,103,104,105),'Data Analysis'!$G$11:$G$11<>""),
SORT(SORT(SORT(FILTER(CHOOSECOLS('Data Analysis'!$G$12:$FK$1000,1,2,5,6,3,4,25,46,11,12,13,14,48,46,7,8,9,10,47,52,101,102,103,104,105),'Data Analysis'!$G$12:$G$1000<>""),2),3),5))

That's a perfect solution.
.. Apart from a small error in it ;)

I used this formula
=VSTACK(FILTER(CHOOSECOLS('Data Analysis'!$G$11:$FK$11,1,2,5,6,3,4,25,46,11,12,13,14,48,46,7,8,9,10,47,52,101,102,103,104,105),'Data Analysis'!$G$11:$G$11<>""),
SORT(SORT(SORT(FILTER(CHOOSECOLS('Data Analysis'!$G$12:$FK$1000,1,2,5,6,3,4,25,46,11,12,13,14,48,46,7,8,9,10,47,52,101,102,103,104,105),'Data Analysis'!$G$12:$G$1000<>""),2),3),5))
You could do it a lot shorter like this.
Excel Formula:
=LET(d,CHOOSECOLS('Data Analysis'!$G$11:$FK$1000,1,2,5,6,3,4,28,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,23),b,DROP(d,1),VSTACK(TAKE(d,1),SORT(SORT(SORT(FILTER(b,TAKE(b,,1)<>""),2),3),5)))

You can also just use a single sort function like
Excel Formula:
=LET(d,CHOOSECOLS('Data Analysis'!$G$11:$FK$1000,1,2,5,6,3,4,28,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,23),b,DROP(d,1),VSTACK(TAKE(d,1),SORT(FILTER(b,TAKE(b,,1)<>""),{5,3,2})))
