was not sure where to put a general discussion , excel forum seems the only logical place
I have just seen a tutorial on how to sort by cell fill colour,
www.howtoexcel.org
i thought this was only possible by VBA , and seen that as the response on quite a few threads , that it cannot be done
in fact often question asked is - does the sheet have conditional formatting , and then use those rules
but looking at the tutorials and google searches - this appears to have been available for some time 2007
i have clearly missed something
I just wondered what version was this introduced , tried google and not got a decent reply - no point using AI - as that has been wrong 80% of the time whenever i used chatgpt !
