  • Learn how to sort dates into chronological order using two different methods. First, we'll use Data Validation, and then we will use the ISDATE function.
    Choose which one works best for your spreadsheet, and your dates will sort chronologically.
    This video came about because a previous video about sorting dates got a comment from @DumbSathanass pointing out that I never actually sorted the dates in the video! Keep the comments coming.

    Thank you. While I was awar of how to sort columns and validate, I didnt know you double could click on the lower right of the auto-complete to fill to the bottom (doh).
    Guess that is why I watch those videos :D

      It saves a ton of time. Now it's painful to watch people use a spreadsheet when they don't know the trick.

    Can you synchronize dates from your Apple iPhone- I see the “desktop” includes “date” “sort “ where is that option on the iPhone?

    Thank you. The weird thing is I puit these colored bars in certain rows, in order to divide weeks. Google sheets did something hillarious when I flipped the table, (which worked perfectly by the way). It collected up all of the bars, and just piled them up at the bottom of the spreadsheet. I guess it didn't know what to do with them lol. I just added them back in. Thank you again!

      Select the entire range you want to sort before you sort it.

    I want to organize the dates chronologically but in google sheets pivot, it is sorted by month alphabetically such as Apr, Aug. I want the google sheet pivot rows to be sorted as Jan, Feb, Mar etc. Please help! Thanks!

    • @ProlificOaktree
      @ProlificOaktree  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Maybe something like add a column to the source data using the MONTH function ran on the date column. This will return month numbers. Then, use this as a column in the pivot table and it should sort them in order.

    When I click on Data Validation I get a completely different prompt which doesn't give me the options you got. Anyways what I'm looking is for ways to sort week numbers from last year and this year so it doesn't move this year's weeks into the front of week numbers 49-52 of last year

    I actually am looking for an easy way to change the month in a column of dates so I can update a dashboard. Right now in order to do that I have to manually click on each cell and change from June to July. It's tedious and I'm wondering if there's an easier way to do this.

    • @ProlificOaktree
      @ProlificOaktree  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe break the date down with the MONTH, YEAR, and DAY functions then put it back together again adding one to the MONTH. See here for a bit more: sheetshelp.com/month/

    I know I've seen this done. Is there a way to just click on, say, where you have "Date" in the column and it sorts it for you?

    • @ProlificOaktree
      @ProlificOaktree  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Apply a filter to the data, then you can do this.

      Try adding a column with the MONTH function and sort by that.
