I am working on a spreadsheet to track employee attendance.
Cell A is the employee ID number, Cell B is the employee (=VLOOKUP(A573,$N$3:$P$131,2,FALSE), and Cell C is the position (=VLOOKUP(A671,$N$3:$P$131,3,FALSE).
In cell E I have the date of the occurrence. When I attempt to sort by date the data gets out of order. Is there any way to sort by date without causing the data to be misplaced?

Excel Facts

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
Assuming you are just using the sort function under the Data menu: It appears that columns D and H are blank columns? It's possible that you don't have the entire range of information selected, so it's only sorting columns E, F, and G. Would otherwise need more information.
