Advanced Sort/ look

[applemanxxx]

Good morning everyone,

I am trying to sort a document based on the information in on
particular column, this Colum contains the following alpha numerica
string “F907E231220084”. I need to help in figuring out how to sor
based on the last 4 digits only. I appreciate any and all help. Yo
don’t have to write a formula for me just point me in the direction
will try to figure out the rest

(Not writing formula mode): Extract the last four digits into an adjacent column, then sort on that column. When you're done, you can either delete the column or hide it.
Note that the sort will be different if your results are "text" or "real numbers", so use an appropriate formula depending on what you want.

Well thank you for that, I ve tried it and it almost worked....However
I have to manually input the formula in to each cell, here wha
happens:
=MID(A3,ROW(11:11),4) – 1 CELL The original formula returns
digit number
=MID(A4,ROW(12:12),4) – 2 CELL The original formula returns
digit number
=MID(A5,ROW(13:13),4) – 3 CELL The original formula returns
digit number
=MID(A6,ROW(14:14),4) – 4 CELL The original formula returns
digit number
ETC….. I think you get the picture …ROW(N, N) keeps changin
as I try to copy it down, thus, as I stated it earlier, I must d
manually…. Any thoughts?

try:
=RIGHT(A3;4) and copy down.
You can copy the helper column and pastespecial paste values and apply
custom numberformat 0000.
