Greetings. I need help with Excel 2007.
I have a table, which offers a wide variety of materials, in this case, pipes.
Right now it is being sorted by the sizes, but I have a small problem.
I need it to be sorted by the largest sizes first, but you can see the problem:
Right now it sorts by size pretty well, the top ones are 80*something*something
Then the 70 ones come, then the 50s, 40s, and so on. But once we reach 20s, we can see that it seems to sort by the first two numbers. So such sizes as 219 are sorted lower than 80.
Is there any way I can fix this without modifying anything in the text?
