How do you sort specific columns and freeze a header column?

I'm creating a list of people attending a workshop and would like the first column to be the number of people attending. The first column is the number and that row sorts with the rest, so then my numbers go 1, 9, 5, etc instead of remaining 1-20. Is there a different way for me to determing the number? I put 1 in cell A 2 and then for A 3 I give it a formula A1 + 1 to create the number sequence. I've tried making it a header column and freezing the column, but it still changes.
thanks,
Nancy

Nancy,
You can search the discussions when you have a specific question, or you can just browse them from time to time to see what there is to be learned. Your question is a little like "How did you learn to be a good cook?" Most of the good home cooks never went to cooking school, but they have had lots of good coaching and lots of experience. Many of the helpers here have been using spreadsheets for so long that they don't remember when they learned a particular trick or method. And, we like to share, so keep the questions coming.
I keep the Formula Browser in view, and I study the examples for the functions I think I might want to use.
Regards,
Jerry

    Hi Ron,
    On the right side of the Toolbar click the Sort and Filter button, then select Sort.

  • How do you sort the safari  "Bookmarks Bar" bookmarks

    how do you sort the safari  "Bookmarks Bar" bookmarks

    Here is the workaround for sorting your bookmarks - you don't have to do it manually as suggested in the previous answer here. This is from a 2006 page at Hints.Macworld.com
    "One thing that bugs me is that there is no option in Safari to alphabetize bookmarks. I had a crazy idea about how to accomplish this, and it seems to work. Hopefully I'm not missing something more obvious.
    What I did was open the Bookmarks window (Bookmarks: Show All Bookmarks), put the links I wanted to alphabetize into a folder, and then dragged that folder into the Finder. The Finder alphabetizes the bookmarks; you can then just drag the folder back into the Bookmarks window. You probably have to set the Finder to arrange files by name before it will work. Hope this helps!
    [robg adds: When you drag the folder back, you'll now have two folders, the original and the sorted one. Just delete the original, and you're set. You can also do this without first creating a Safari folder. Just select all the bookmarks to be alphabetized, drag them into a new folder in the Finder, open that folder (make sure it's set to sort by name or use column view), then drag the now-sorted bookmarks back into Safari's Bookmarks window. Again, you'll have duplicates, so just delete the originals (which will be grouped above the newly-placed list). I wonder if any of this is scriptable...]"
    If you're like me and you like to keep all of your bookmarks in folders in the Bookmarks bar, then from the Bookmarks window you would open the Bookmarks Bar in a window of its own before doing the above.

    How do you sort photos by face/name on iPad2?

    iPhoto is designed to work with photos from cameras, and so seeks the date in the Exif metadata that the camera writes to the file.
    There is no way to organise photos by the date they were imported to iPhoto.

  • How do you sort video in itunes

    in itunes you have the video section then you have 4 subsections Movies,Music Videos, Podcasts, and Tv Shows.
    How do you sort the different video in itunes from all vidoes to those subsections

    ben7072 - I just found this on the discussions board: "Under View Options in the View menu, check the box that says Artist. Then rearrange your shows by Artist instead of Show."
    It does work. Obviously, the Artist needs to be the same a Show for it to truly fix our problem here... this is the case for me.
    I'd still like to know what the real problem is though...

  • HT4915 How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync  from my computer to iPhone.

    How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync  from my computer to iPhone.  This is because I cannont upgrade to Lion and I do not want to get duplicate contacts when I sync from the computer 10.6.8 to my iPhone iOS5.  You should not upgrade to Lion upless you have 4GB of ram. Lion does not support rosita so all your old programs will not funtion and you have to repurchase all old software the is working fine.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Settings > iCloud, turn off contact and calendar syncing.

    How do you get your tunes and voice recordings from your iPod Touch into iTunes on a new computer if you don't have Mobile Me?
    iTunes on tmy new computer shows none of my data and I fear if I sync my iPod with the computer all will be deleted on the iPod.

  • How do you remove telstra messages and go back to visual messages on iphone

    How do you remove telstra messages and go back to visual messages on iphone

    Should be pretty easy as follows:
    1 - Make sure you have copies of any pictures you want that are inside Aperture somewhere on your computer.
    2 - Quit Aperture > Remove any Aperture icon from dock > drag the Aperture program (lens icon) from Applications folder to the Trash > proceed through any warning dialog (including entering password as required) to complete the process.
    Note - new security features in OS X Lion may present those warning dialogs to prevent accidental deletion of Apple programs.
    3 - Hold down the 'Option' key and use the 'Go' menu in menu bar and select the 'Library' option.
    4 - In the Library folder, open the 'Application Support' folder and delete any Aperture folder found.
    5 - While still in the Library folder, open the 'Preferences' folder and delete both the 'com.apple.Aperture.plist' and 'com.apple.Aperture.plist.lockfile' file.
    6 - While still in the Library folder, open the 'Caches' folder and delete the 'com.apple.Aperture' folder.
    7 - Go the your 'Pictures' folder and drag the 'Aperture Library' (may be named Aperture Trial Library or similar) to the Trash to delete it as well.
    8 - Empty the Finder Trash to remove Aperture.
    Note - there are some files and Aperture folders in the '/Library' folder (which is in the root of your system drive), but you don't really need to remove those. Since you are a beginner, it is probably better not to for now.
    That should do it.
    Additional edit: There are two Library folders I am referring to. The first is the one in your user account 'Home' folder which is the one you are going to by using the 'Go' menu. This is the one you are deleting files from in the steps listed. The second Library folder is the one in the root of your system drive and is not typically a location for beginners to work with (thus the final note above). Hope that is clear enough.
    Message was edited by: CorkyO2 to add clarity concerning the 'Library' folder.
