200,000th question in the Excel Forum

This is a cool milestone - the 200,000 question in the Excel Questions forum at the MrExcel Message board. It was asked by LitreLord on Wednesday July 19 around lunchtime on the East Coast in the USA.

Smozgur snapped a screenshot of the topic counter at 200,000.




The question was about sorting with a formula. After a couple of posts back and forth, NBVC appears to have solved the question 29 minutes after LitreLord submitted it.

(Purists will point out that the new board doesn't include the 14,000+ topics at the old board, plus the topics in other forums, etc. Yes - we are probably closer to 225,000 topics overall).

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who has ever posted a question or a response at the MrExcel Message Board. This is a great community and a fantastic resource.
