Hello,

When I apply a filter to this document I'm using, a lot of the data suddenly goes missing.

I've got a lot of two digit codes that I'm sorting by and when I sort A to Z it only brings in the codes that are numbers and remains blank for all the other two digit codes that have letters.

I've tried filtering by selecting the range of the spreadsheet and also by just doing the headers and letting Excel guess the range but neither work. Selecting fields below works fine, it's just the A to Z and Z to A that breaks it. If I do Z to A then the numbered codes are missing entirely so I end up having to reset the formulas entirely to get it working again.

Any suggestions?

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).

Formatting does not change the values from numbers to text.
You need to use Data\Text to Columns...

What do you mean by this Data\Text to Columns?

Since I have formulas would I need to push the data to another column and sort that column instead?

Ah - there are formulas creating the values in the column that you are sorting on ..

I am unable to recreate your issue, as you can see below

(a guess :confused:) Would adding another column and sorting on that work (see F below)

I moved the Formulas to another sheet and I now reference that with =A5 like you did above but the sorting still doesn't work.

When I sort A to Z it sorts all the NUMBERS like 04, 24, 25 but leaves out all the other information like GA, BY, CA, DI

Same exact type of thing happens in reverse, it leaves out all the NUMBERS but pulls in the rest.
