Sounds like my suggestion of moving the data to Word is the best option. &nbsp;Thanks.<br />

no not necessarily...coz excel assumes integers or numbers for its cells....when u enter one point it will assume its an integer while Word wont do that...the only difference is being forced to add an extra deciaml point in Excel so it wont be mistaken with a number or an integer.<br />

Is there a way to sort a column that contains &quot;numbers&quot; with more than one decimal? &nbsp;I'm trying to sort numbers from an outline such as:<br />
<br />
1.0 &nbsp;1.12 &nbsp;1.12.1 &nbsp;2.12 &nbsp;2.1.13<br />
<br />
It seems that Excel recognizes numbersd as one decimal and doesn't have the ability to sort numbers from an outline format. &nbsp;Is that correct?<br />
<br />
I have moved the data into Microsoft Word and am trying to sort that data in a table. &nbsp;It seems to be getting closer to the correct results.<br />
<br />
Thanks for any suggestions!!

Is there a way to sort a column that contains "numbers" with more than one decimal?  I'm trying to sort numbers from an outline such as:

1.0  1.12  1.12.1  2.12  2.1.13

It seems that Excel recognizes numbersd as one decimal and doesn't have the ability to sort numbers from an outline format.  Is that correct?

Thanks for any suggestions!!

Excel Sorting

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
