Sort Conditional Field Text For Free

You can use the Conditional Formatting to replace text and NOT effect any formulas.

Select the cells you want to apply conditional formatting to. Click the first cell in the range, and then drag to the last cell. Click HOME > Conditional Formatting > Highlight Cells Rules > Text that Contains. In the Text that Contains box, on the left, enter the text you want highlighted.

In the Sort dialog box, make sure 'My Data has headers' is selected. In case your data doesn't have headers, you can keep this option unchecked. Click the 'Sort By' drop down and select 'Marks'. This is the column based on which we want the data to be sorted.

One of the most common reasons that your numbers in Excel aren't sorting correctly is because there are additional characters included with your numbers that aren't showing in the cell. This can often happen when you copy and paste values from an outside source, such as data found on the internet.

Conditional formatting cannot sort a list. Automatically sorting the list in place would require VBA. You can use the SORT function to return a sorted version of the list in another range.

If cell contains specific text, then return a value Select the output cell, and use the following formula: =IF(cell="text", value_to_return, ""). For our example, the cell we want to check is A2, the text we're looking for is ?example?, and the return value will be Yes.

And you can filter whether you have formatted cells, applied cell styles, or used conditional formatting. In a range of cells or a table column, click a cell that contains the cell color, font color, or icon that you want to filter by. On the Data tab, click Filter.

You can also sort by an icon set that you created with conditional formatting. On the Data tab, in the Sort & Filter group, select Custom Sort. In the Custom Sort dialog box under Columns, select the column that you want to sort. Under Sort On, select Cell Color, Font Color or Conditional Formatting Icon.

You filter data to display only the rows that meet criteria that you specify and hide rows that you do not want displayed, for one or more columns of data. You conditionally format data to help you visually explore and analyze data, detect critical issues, and identify patterns and trends.

In the Custom Sort dialog box under Columns, select the column that you want to sort. Under Sort On, select Cell Color, Font Color or Conditional Formatting Icon. Under Order, select the order you want (what you see depends on the type of format you have). Then select a cell color, font color, or cell icon.
