Hello,

I have a spreadsheet with Employee names (A2...A150) & one of 5 Divisions that they work for (B2...B150). What I am trying to do is put them in a new sheet that will separate them into columns based on the Division that they work for. For instance, the new sheet (Sheet 2) would list each of the 5 divisions at the top of each column and then list the employees in alphabetical order that work for those divisions underneath.

So Employee1 who works in Division3 and Employee2 who works in Division4 will be listed on the new sheet under their respective divisions. I need Sheet 2 to update according to the list on Sheet 1.

Can this be done?

Thank you in advance for your response.

It can be done most cleanly by macro. Formula can be tricky and would depend on a lot of other factors. So I suggest look into macro for this
