Image
If you want to know something powerful amongst Excel features, it is its ability to quickly and easily sort data. It includes both alphabetizing the lists of strings (i.e. putting them in an alphabetical order), and ordering the numerical values — both from the largest to smallest and smallest to the largest. In this blog, we will learn the procedure to do so, i.e. we will cover everything from standard alphabetization (sorting from A to Z) to the reverse alphabetization (sorting from Z to A) to sorting numbers.

Cell Addresses Below is the diagram that shows rows, columns, cells, and ranges all in one place: As it is clearly visible, that Excel labels columns letterwise. It is also visible that column labels are highlighted along the top of the screen: A, B, C, etc. Rows are highlighted along the screenside and organised number wise : 1,2,3 etc. At each row and column intersection is a cell, which is just one of the boxes on the grid of a worksheet. Every cell has a unique address that is a result of the c...
