I have a column that $ values. When I go to sort from A-Z or Z-A nothing is correct. Yes I've already formatted the cells to number values, Currency, and General. Nothing works. Please help!
 

Excel Facts

Save Often
If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
Applying a format to a cell or cell(s) as a number, doesn't necessarily mean the cell(s) actually contain a number.

They are probably "Numbers Stored As Text"

Try highlighting the column, Data - Text To Columns - Deliminated - Finish.
