Hi Fellow MrExcelian Experts.

I have A problem I will try to be clear:
Its simplying my final data analysis to replace the Tedious VISUAL IDENTIFICATION of Number Series

My final data analysis table sorted in Order of Colns B & AG (Critical colns of Interest) is close to this one Example.

My data table start from Column A to AG: Coln A is Date, Coln B Subject Names, Coln C is Blank, Colns D to AG are values & MORE IMPORTANTLY COLNs G & B.

The difficulty I have is matching any combination of varied numbers rounded to 2d.p. in COLUMN AG IN SEQUENCE Eg. assuming in coln AG for one Subject Name is as follows vertically; (1.27, 4.15, 6.13, 3.12, 1.05, 2.15, 2.11, 3.15), I need to pick out in ascending order no.s (2.15, 3.15, 4.15). My problem is: Is there a formula or VBA code to apply concurrently to Coln B & AG to help "Smoke out" the series from Eg. above

Any appropriately different approach is welcome.

Regards with Thanks
Patrick


EDIT:
Missing vital info: The table is a result of consolidating 2 sheets. Each sheet filled with 2 different colours.

Data after sorting by Coln B & AG in each sheet is identifiable by 2 distinct colours eg. Blue for one. & Yellow for the other hence each Coln B (Subject Name).

ONE CRITICAL CONDITION IS:
ONLY 2 numbers FOLLOWING EACH OTHER MUST COME FROM ONE COLOUR. Eg from Blue 2.15, 3.15 & from Yellow 4.15 & Vice versa is perfect.

Its clear now

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Hi Patrick,

your required output is not fully clear yet. Anyway to get you started, can you not use some filtering or a pivottable to obtain your result?

with filters you can do a lot. I the small example below I have added a column where I have the numbers from column AG as text. i can then filter them using custom filter: is equal to ?.15

I know it is not the full solution you are after, but it will help you speed up your manual process.

I think what you are after can only be done through VBA

There are 4 sheets stored somewhere from where to Loop & identify Expected numbers which surely are in either of the 4 sheets, though not a must: they're few matchesIn other words, if in Coln AG upon preliminary analysis is as follows:1.832.83(Expected search no. is 3.83: <0 is not needed6.385.38Expected numbers here are: 4.38 or 7.384.315.31Expected numbers here are: 3.31 or 6.31EtcThe table format remains as above:MATCH approach is possible but clueless...Thanks
