HI,

I have been using the =UNIQUE with the =SORT function to good effect. However I have a list of Names and Projects which contain a Number at the end (either with or without a space before) and am unable to sort them in order - i.e Project 1, Project 2, Project 3

New to using these functions but is there a way to achieve the desired result?

Thanks
Pauly
