How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
If you need a macro for that you can easily record one. It's just a normal sort

Is it okay that, will not sort the last one which row which contains the "Totals"? How can i exclude the row with "Totals"?

Because Col A is blank on the totals row, it will automatically be at the bottom
