CARA MENYORTIR NAMA DI EXCEL

When it comes to organizing data in a spreadsheet, Excel is an incredibly useful tool.

Sorting Excel Data by Name

One common task is sorting a list of names alphabetically. Fortunately, Excel makes this easy with its built-in sorting function. Here’s how to do it:

1. Select the column that contains the names you want to sort.
2. Click on the “Data” tab in the Excel ribbon.
3. Click on the “Sort A-Z” or “Sort Z-A” button, depending on how you want to sort the data.
4. If the names are accompanied by other information, such as addresses or phone numbers, make sure to select the entire range of cells that you want to sort.

Once you’ve sorted the data, you may notice that all the names starting with the same letter are grouped together. If you want to sort the names by last name rather than first name, you can use a formula to extract the last name and sort based on that. Here’s how:

1. Create a new column next to the column that contains the names you want to sort.
2. In the first cell of the new column, type the formula =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(” “,A1)). This formula will extract the last name from the cell in column A.
3. Copy the formula down to all the cells in the new column.
4. Select both the column containing the names and the column containing the last names.
5. Click on the “Data” tab in the Excel ribbon, then click on the “Sort” button.
6. Choose “Sort by:” the column containing the last names, “Then by:” the column containing the first names, and “Order:” A-Z or Z-A as desired.
7. Click “OK” and your data will be sorted by last name first, then by first name within each last name group.

Filtering Excel Data to Display Only Relevant Information

Another common task in Excel is filtering data to display only specific rows based on criteria you set. Here’s how to do it:

1. Select the column you want to filter.
2. Click on the “Data” tab in the Excel ribbon, then click on the “Filter” button.
3. Click on the drop-down arrow next to the column header.
4. Choose “Text Filters” or “Number Filters” depending on the type of data in the column.
5. Choose the filter you want to apply (e.g. “equals”, “contains”, “less than”, “greater than or equal to”, etc.)
6. Enter the criteria you want to filter by.
7. Click “OK” and your data will be filtered to display only the rows that meet your criteria.
