Sort & Filter Data in Excel

To sort and filter data in Excel, follow these steps:

1. Select the range of cells that you want to sort or filter.
2. Click on the "Data" tab on the ribbon.
3. To sort the data, click on the "Sort" button in the "Sort & Filter" group. Choose the column you want to sort by and select the order (ascending or descending).
4. To filter the data, click on the "Filter" button in the "Sort & Filter" group. This will add drop-down arrows to each column header.
5. Click on the drop-down arrow for the column you want to filter by. Choose the criteria you want to use to filter the data, such as "Equals", "Greater Than", or "Text Filters". Enter the specific value you want to filter by, or choose from a list of values.
6. You can also use multiple criteria to filter the data. To do this, click on the drop-down arrow for one column, choose "Filter by Color", and select a color to filter by. Then click on the drop-down arrow for another column and choose another criterion to filter by.
7. To remove a filter, click on the "Filter" button in the "Sort & Filter" group and choose "Clear Filter".

Note: When you sort or filter data, Excel will rearrange the data in the selected range. To avoid losing any data or affecting other parts of your spreadsheet, make sure that you select the correct range of cells before sorting or filtering
