Dear Kartik, Thanks for the suggestions. I do not want to sort list manually but need formuale to sort the above columns as there is some interlinking with other cells.
Also i can sort the salary in descending order using array formulas (also non-array formulas) but i am facing problem with the names as VLOOKUP (and match-index-large) is giving same names for different persons with same salary. Kindly refer attached excel sheet in first post Regards Vijay Yadav On Friday, 26 July 2013 14:17:30 UTC+5:30, vijay yadav wrote: > > Dear Excel experts, > > I have to sort data in two columns ,first column contains name and second > column contains salary. > The new columns should contain salary in descending order and name in > corresponding cell. > > A small example is given below - > > *DATA available-* > Column A(name) Column B(salary) > KISHAN > 60000 > > AJAY 24000 SANGEETA > 60000 > > > *OUTPUT required with help of formulae -* > Column C(name) Column D(salary) > KISHAN > 60000 SANGEETA 60000 AJAY 24000 > Excel sheet is attached containing the data. > Kindly help. > > Regards > Vijay Yadav > -- Are you =EXP(E:RT) or =NOT(EXP(E:RT)) in Excel?
