Hi, everyone,

I have a table that looks something like that.
A B C D
Part Number Quantity Supplier Total Quantity
8-093 10 Adam 80
8-025 50 IPL 50
8-352 30 Optical 30
8-093 70 Adam 80

column D sums column B for the same part number in column A

I used the filter function and got this result (it's fine)

A B C D
Part Number Supplier Total Quantity Comments
8-093 Adam 80
8-025 IPL 50
8-352 Optical 30

now I added manually column name "Comments" at the end and start writing.
if I'm filtering after that any column, the comment I wort in D keeps it's place and moving accordantly to the part number.
now when I'm trying to sort by any column, it gives me an error "you cannot change part of an array excel",
so I tried adding the sorting to the filter formula, but in this case the sorting not working on the field I've added manually (Comments) and the comment I wrote for one part not matching anymore.

1. what can I do?
2. is it possible In the filter function to also get the headers from the original table?
