You could give the range of data an name, then use that name to highlight the data. Or you could put a blank row between the 3 lines and the data.

I was trying to avoid highlighting the cells each time I did a sort. Was hoping there was something I could do to tell it to ignore the top 3 lines instead of just the top 1 line. -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Christine Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 5:54 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: sorting Excel Highlight all of the data to be sorted, excluding the header rows rather than just clicking in one cell of the data. When you sort, make sure the no header rows is checked. This should sort only the data.

There is labeling at the top that includes 3 rows. When I sort and select "header row" it only leaves one of the rows at the top. Is there a way to sort and leave all three rows at the top? Just other information, I tried merging the 3 rows at the top into 1 row for each column, but then when I tried the sort I got an error message that said all merged cells had to be the same size.
