sort and blank cells problem

[Mrs T.]

Hi,
sorry - I have another problem! In my assessment sheet the data looks like
this...


F G H I J
K L M
score1 score2 name name score3
score4 progress
8 8 Aldi Billy 9 9 1
1 1 Boots Claire s 1 1 0
1 1 Debehham Ernie 3 3 2
1 1 Elves Freda s 4 4 3
2 2 Foster Gail 4 4 2
2 2 Google Harry sa 1 1 -1
1 1 Hills Jenny 2 2 1
1 1 Jones Kevin sa+ 1 1 0
2 2 Kwik Lisa 2 2 0
2 2 Lidl Mason 1 1 -1
1 1 Morrison Nathan 2 2 1
Next Olive
Ogilvy Perry

I wanted to write a macro that would sort the data by column L and remove
empty rows (sheet is formatted to 100 rows), but when I sort by L I get
this...

Am using Excel 2003, all data comes from other sheets, all use IF, columns G
and L use a LOOKUP and M is an IF(COUNT . I got help from here yesterday to
do the IF(COUNT to remove error values, but this hasn't solved the sorting
problem. I have tried everything I can think of to sort so that the data is
at the top and the empty rows are at the bottom (or deleted) but am totally
stumped.
Hope you can help
Thanks
Mrs T

This forum really makes it unclear what the results/problem is since it
reformats everything.

Can you post up your workbook and provide a link? Or come over to

http://www.excelforum.com/

And post your question there. You can click on GO ADVANCED and use the
paperclip icon to attach a workbook to your question, makes solving things
like this much easier.

else I can do? I daren't upload whole workbook as their is real children's
data in there.
Thanks

I presumed you would create a smaller version and change the names to
something innocuous. First time posters are allowed to attach a sheet, so be
sure to GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip to upload your sample.

You could also send it to me...
