Hello All,

My computer is a Dell and my operating system is Windows 10.

Can you please help me with a formula to sort numbers in descending order?

In the cells (AQ1:AU6), I used the Countif function to count the numbers. The top row (A1:AO1) are the numbers that were counted and the second row (A2:AO2) are how totals of each number.

The second row is where I need the numbers listed in descending order.



When I wrote the formula to do this on my spreadsheet, the Countif rows and descending rows were on the same row. I had to stack them to fit here.

This are the formulas I used…

=LARGE($A2:$AO2,COLUMNS(AQ2:AQ2))
=SMALL(IF($A2:$AO2=AQ2,$A1:$AO1),COUNTIF($AQ2:AQ2, AQ2)) Ctrl+Shift+Enter.

When I dragged the numbers across, it would only go as far as two cells and then the rest were errors.

Can you help please?

Thanks in advance!!
 
MrsFrankieH, are your two rows where you're placing these still running from A4 to AO4? And from A5 to AO5? Or did you move them, add or delete rows between, etc.?

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Hi Erik!! Sure!! Now, I'm embarrassed to say but I have never used Dropbox or Google drive. I'll figure it out. Thank you again! :)
