Select the columns as normal and use the sort icon, or command on the Data menu to sort them. If you have more than one column selected, the column in which the active cell is will be used to sort. If you want to sort on a number of combinations, like surname and then firstname, that can be done through the data menu. Blank cells will be sorted to the end and the rest of the data will be sorted as usual.

When do you hide cells in Excel?

There are lots of reasons why you might hide cells. You may have a background calculation that is used by the more important formulas but which does not need to be shown on the worksheet. You might have something in a cell that does not need to be seen, maybe like some text that gives you information about the calculations. You may hide cells for formatting or layout purposes, like to have values in two columns or rows appearing beside each other when in reality there are columns or rows between them. You may want to hide a different version of a formula that is being shown.

What is the major difference between the datasheet in MS access and the worksheet in Microsoft Excel?

An Excel worksheet is for data and figures and for doing calculations on. All the columns and rows are identifiable by letters and numbers respectively. Individual cells are identified by their column letters and row numbers. A Datasheet in Access shows the data from a table or query. Cells are not referenced in the same way. They are as fields for columns and records for rows. The Datasheet is limited to the amount of data being displayed, whereas a worksheet is much larger. A datasheet just shows pure data, whereas the worksheet can show data and formulas. Calculations can be done in queries, but once in datasheet view, you cannot see the underlying formulas. These are some of the main differences. There are others, as Access and Excel are two different kinds of applications.An Excel worksheet is for data and figures and for doing calculations on.
