Hi Krystle

Thank you for your question.

You would first need to ensure that:

1. All your dates were in one column
2. The column containing the dates had a heading at the top (e.g. Date) which has been bolded.
3. All dates are in the same format.
4. There are no blank rows within the list of dates.

Then you can select any of the cells that contain a date, then click the Sort Ascending button on the standard toolbar (button with A and Z on it).

Amanda

Excel tip:

Ctrl+d's double life

Suppose I have a formula in B1 that I wish to copy into B2:B10. I can select B1:B10 then press Ctrl+d to copy the formula down the selected range. Users generally ignore this shortcut in favour of double-clicking on the fill handle to copy down, but Ctrl+d is useful sometimes particularly when there is no data in surrounding columns to guide to how far the double-click method should copy formulae.

Ctrl+d has another use though. When I use the drawing toolbar to draw objects such as Text Boxes, Rectangles and Ovals onto a worksheet, Ctrl+d makes an instant duplicate of selected shapes. For example, I need five Text Boxes the same size. I draw one Text box and adjust it to the size I want, select it, then press Ctrl+d four times to get four identical copies.
