When sorting numbers in a col, they come out 1, 10, 11, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. How can I make them come out 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11? Thank you, Ironsides

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

Sounds to me that Excel isn't actually recognising the values as numbers.

Where are the numbers coming from?

thanks Norie, of course, the col was Text not number. Changing it to number fixed it. ( blush blush blush )

Glad it was that simple.:)

Thought we might end up in some long, contracted thread.:)
