Hi,

I have a table with data generated by formulas. When using the sort function in the filter I get lots of blanks between all values. I can not uncheck blanks in the filter since it will remove other information on the same row that is not related to the table data.

Any tips?

What is your formula? You could change it to return 0 or not found.

=IF(INDEX($C$3:$C$300;MATCH(D3;$B$3:$B$300;0))="NO";D3;"") this formula retrieves the values in column E. Those values, I want to sort in column F. Please see example below. I can do that using the filter but the issue is there is information on the same row as the blanks moving around then.

Column E
(blank)
(blank)
89043
(blank)
75678
(blank)

Column F
89043
75678

Not sure to understand your example ..

Are you looking for a formula to sort Column E ..

or

Are you looking for a formula to Delete all the Blanks ...???

Hi James,

A formula to sort the cells containing values and putting the blanks in the bottom. Without messing around information that might appear on the same row as the blank row.

well sorting data ...

will not produce :

Column F

Say you create a Named Range for the data your Column E ( e.g. rng )

in cell F2, you can have the following Array formula:

Code:
=IF(ROWS($2:2)<=COUNTA(rng),INDEX(rng,SMALL(IF(rng<>"",ROW(rng)-MIN(ROW(rng))+1),ROWS($2:2))),"")

and copy down ...

Hope this will help
