Hi, I'm having issues sorting values that will have dashes, numbers, and letters in multiple merged columns. Ultimately what I would like is a button that I can create some VBA behind it or something that will sort this data when I click on it. Another option is if it can just sort the values on the fly as I type them into the cells. Examples of the values will look like this:
1ABC-10-455781
1ABI-11-322411
1ABP-10-769112
Below is an example of how it looks on the spreadsheet. The merged cells for that first value (1ABC-19-509451) is from columns B-H starting on row 10. The cell next to "26" in the next column over is merged from J-P. The last column on the far right starting from number "51", the cell next to it is merged from R-X. Each of those numbers from 1-75 is each a cell. It has nothing to do with the values other than keeping a record number for it. Of course those numbers do not need to be sorted and those cells will be locked from the user to edit. I will entering values in all 3 columns in sequence but most times will only use 1 or 2 columns because I will run out of values to enter for the day. I would like the values to be sorted in some kind of order if possible. Thank you so much for taking the time to help with this dilemma.
