RE: Excel formatting/Formular

Hi Kasumi

Thank you for your question.

Before you do this, it is a good idea to make sure your headings are formatted in bold so that Excel can tell that they are the headings and not part of the data to be sorted.

Select any cell (with data in it) under the heading that you wish to sort by, then you can use the Sort Ascending or Sort Descending buttons (they have A and Z on them) to sort in either ascending or descending order.

Excel tip:

Bracketed negative numbers

Often Excel users wish to display negative numbers in colour red and bracketed

Intstructions
Step1. Select Format > Cells menu options. Within Numbers tabsheet, select Category = Custom.
Step 2. Select a type such as #,##0;[Red]-#,##0;; that specifies a colour in square brackets.
Step 3. Amend as follows; #,##0;[Red](#,##0;;

Notes: Excel formatting featues are of the form
"Positive; Negative;Zero;Text" separated by semicolon.
