Sort on Date field

Is there a way in Excel 2010 to sort on a partial date field? I would like to be able to sort reports using just the month and year portion of a date field.
Also is there a way to filter on the same portion of the date field using the advanced filter?

Thank you.

I do not see an option to add attachments here. Maybe it will appear after I click Preview. If not I guess I can not add an attachment. I see an area attachments should display, but no way to attach anything. Do you have any other suggestions?

No attachment

There was no attachment! I think you must edit your post to attach something because on comments you can not attach! just on posts!

Sort on Date Field

Thanks, I will give that a try.

You can use the MONTH and

You can use the MONTH and YEAR function, and then use a sort on two fields : MONTH, YEAR (like an SQL GROUP BY).

Sort on Date Field

I am not sure I understand. My date is in one field and as of now I don't have the freedom to split it into 3 fields. If there is a way to use the Month and Year function with the sort command I am not aware of it. If you know a way to use those functions in a sort please explain. I am not competent in VB or SQL so those are not good options for me.

If I could find a way I would attach a sample report, but I have not found a way to do that.

on the same cell?

There is a way, but the day, the month and the year are on the same cell and you want to isolate just the month and the year? attach your a sample of your file and i will try to help you.

Sort on Date field

Here is a sample of the report I would like to sort on the date field. At this point I do not see an option to attach a file. The only options I see are Save and Preview. I am hoping that I will see other options after I click save. If you get this without an attachment, please tell me how to attach.

Thank you
