sort button macro issue

[bluepenink]

hello all

having some problem for some odd reason with my sort button macro.

i recently added 20 extra (blank) rows to the worksheet, and the macro for some odd reason is not sorting the data? ive been staring at my screen for an hour, no idea whats happening. can someone pls advise

Sub KPI()
Range("C11:R" & Range("C11").End(xlDown).Row).Sort Key1:=Range("E12"), Order1:=xlDescending, _
        Header:=xlYes, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, _
        Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
        
Range("I7") = "Sorted by: Send Report"
End Sub

Range("C11").End(xlDown).Row is not going to pick up the blank rows. Did you want them sorted?

 

[bluepenink]

if it is blank, then i dont care much. your thoughts? thxs

I'm not understanding the significance of the 20 blank rows then. Are they in the middle of your data?

hey bud

im behind a firewall at work so i cant post a file, other than another excel forum that i know. so i have posted a file there.

http://www.excelforum.com/excel-general/784168-sort-button-not-working.html

the individual mentioned, bc column c is being derived from another worksheet (Data) that is it factoring into the issue.

to answer ur Q:
the blank rows are at the end, so not sure if that should cause an issue.

based on some great help, i tried the following code

Sub SE()
Worksheets("Data").Range("C11:R" & Range("C11").End(xlDown).Row).Sort Key1:=Range("C12"), Order1:=xlAscending, _
        Header:=xlYes, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, _
        Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
 
Range("I7") = "Sorted by: SE"
End Sub

but getting an error msg:
"the sort reference is not valid. make sure its w/in the data you want to sort, and the first sort by box isnt the same or blank. "

YOu haven't qualified all the Range statements:

Sub SE()
With Worksheets("Data")
   .Range("C11:R" & .Range("C11").End(xlDown).Row).Sort Key1:=.Range("C12"), Order1:=xlAscending, _
        Header:=xlYes, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, _
        Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
.Range("I7") = "Sorted by: SE"
End With
End Sub

hello

i had to change the range from C:CS as my worksheet contains data till column CS.

that appears to sort data on my "Master" worksheet - where the sort button is....and the "Data" worksheet.

however, i have other sort buttons on the "Master" worksheet i.e. revenue, appointments set (and i have a sort to sort them lowest to greatest).

i.e. this is my code, but it's failing to work

Sub Branch()
Range("C11:R" & Range("C11").End(xlDown).Row).Sort Key1:=Range("D12"), Order1:=xlAscending, _
        Header:=xlYes, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, _
        Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
        
Range("I7") = "Sorted by: Branch"
End Sub

the issue is....my first column of data on the "Master" worksheet contains the following formula

=IF(ISTEXT(INDIRECT("Data!C" & (12+ROWS($1:1))-1)),INDIRECT("Data!C" & (12+ROWS($1:1))-1),"")

^which appears to be causing all the problems...any suggestions? pls and thx u
