Client had provided an updated data dump PnL for 100+ assets with the quarters of each year going in descending order. I have built my working sheet in ascending order. Instead of redoing a new worksheet, I’d like to copy the new numbers over to my working sheet, but I will have to “flip” the numbers ofc. Is there a formatting option in excel that allows for this? Chatgpt hasn’t been help haha.

If you don’t need to transpose the data… Turn your data set range into a table and then sort ascending. If that’s a challenge make a helper column, add a formula that’s concats a sortable value (e.g. =Value(year&”.”&quarter) and then sort on that.

No need to turn into a table to do the sort: use data -> filter on the range

Could you do what you need in a pivot table?

like

You can choose your sort options for your rows in a pivot table but the first use of pivot tables is to aggregate some numerical data, which might not be what the op wants

like

Can t you use the paste function with pivoting the data in reverse order ?

like

Probably the OP knows already how to sort data. It’s likely here that there are 2 different directions : year ascending but quarter descending

And if it’s not this, for example both descending, then it’s a sort on 2 columns

like

So you have years in ascending order and quarters descending ?

Easy 😊
Just add a column to number quarters
So that will contain 4 3 2 1
Then do a sort of the data on the year column and the new column in increasing order
Then delete this new column
Also do that on a copy of original data, always better to keep the original safe
