Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Hi Mark,

The ISFORMULA function was released with Excel 2013. For previous versions you'll need a User Defined Function (UDF) like the following to do the same:

Code:
Option Explicit
Function HasFormula(reference As Range) As Boolean

    HasFormula = reference.HasFormula

End Function

So once installed you would use the above UDF in the same way as the ISFORMULA function i.e.

=HasFormula(B2)

will return TRUE if there's a formula in cell B2 or else it will return FALSE.

Regards,

Robert

It would go in the workbook (just like a standard macro) where you want to want use the UDF.
