  1. Hi,

    I want to sort out nearly 100 columns and in all the columns rows number is differ. Ex, In one column, until row 10 have data in another column have data until 20. In this situation, how to sort out the data in all column in A to Z format. I tried.But, in some columns in between blank cells came. Kindly help me.

    One more question, by reading this i understood that for sorting out multiple columns i have to use add level. But, when the column numbers are more means each time how can i go change the column number. If there is other way, i could save my time.

    1. Sivakumar:
      Can you sort each column separately or do all the columns have to be sorted as one big selection?
      If you can sort each column by itself you can avoid the blank row problem.
      If the data in each column has to stay with its respective row across the entire data set, you're doing it the only way it can be done. You have my sympathy.
