If values in the source data change, the result from SORT will update automatically.
The SORT function takes fourarguments:array,sort_index,sort_order, andby_col.
The first argument,array, is the range or array to be sorted.
This is the only required argument.
By default, the SORT function will sort values in ascending order using thefirstcolumn inarray.
For example, to sort by the third column in a range of data, use 3 forsort_index.
The optionalsort_orderargument determines sort direction.
Use 1 forascendingorder and -1 fordescendingorder.
However, by usingarray constantsforsort_indexandsort_order, it can be done.This video explains how.
SORT vs SORTBY
Excel contains two functions for sorting: SORT and SORTBY.
The SORT function is the easier option when data already contains the values needed for sorting.
UseSORTBYwhen the values you oughta sort by arenotpart of the data being sorted.
The output from FILTER is dynamic.
If source data or criteria change, FILTER will return a new set of results.
Values can be sorted by one or more columns.
SORT returns a dynamic array of results.
The range or array used to sort does not need to appear in results.
RANDARRAY Function
The Excel RANDARRAY function generates an array of random numbers between two values.
The size or the array is specified byrowsandcolumnsarguments.
The generated values can be either decimals or whole numbers.
SEQUENCE Function
The Excel SEQUENCE function generates a list of sequential numbers in an array.
The array can be one dimensional, or two-dimensional, determined byrowsandcolumnsarguments.
