Actually, the returned value will be a text string. The
formula won't drop the zero.

A simple solution would to add a column that contains

the formula
=Right(OrigDataCellAddress,2), which returns the last

two characters of the
original cell; Then sort on this new column.

The downside to this is that if the last 2 characters

are numbers and the
second last character is a zero, then it will only

return the last character,
because the returned value is a number. To overcome

this, you would have to
use the Text() function.

I would like to sort a column by the last 2 digits of

I would like to sort using the 56. How can I

accomplish this?
