1. Manually Sort An Excel Pivot Table.
As well as using the usual sort options in a Pivot Table, buy value and label, you can also decide yourself the sort order, by using the Manual Sorting option. 

I find this useful if maybe the labelling you have used is more bespoke than the usual chronological order of dates for example you may have some periods that are labelled like my data set below running every 4 weeks.
If I try to use the built in options, Excel will sort it incorrectly for me as it will sort on the first numbers in the data labels.  That's ok though because we can take control of the situation.  So once I have created my Pivot Table I can sort manually by rows or columns.
To sort manually-
  • Select the cell you want to move- in my example I want to move 27 Jun to 03 July 2016
  • Hover over the border of the cell until you see a four headed arrow
  • When you see the green line drag it to the position you want, your value field will be moved also
  • My data is not sorted exactly as I want it to be.

If you now go to your normal sort options in your Pivot Table, you will now see that the options are set to Manual.  To return the sorting back to normal just select either ascending or decending for your sort options.

2. Copy A Worksheet To Another Workbook.
I find this is such a time saver.  If you want to duplicate a worksheet into another workbook, wihtout haveing to copy a whole workbook then delete the worksheets you do not want.  I used this recently to copy one League Table worksheet to another workbbok, and it saved me having to delete all of the pages I didnt need in the workbook, if I had copied the whole workbook.

As usual in Excel there are a couple of ways to achive the same thing.  So here is longer process (then I will share a quick shortcut).
  • Open the source and the destination workbook
  • Navigate to the source workbook and sheet (the one you want to copy)
  • Right click on the source sheet tab
  • Click the Move or Copy option
  • Click to Create A Copy
  • Choose the target sheet from the To Book dropdown. Excel will display only the open workbooks in this list
  • Click Ok.  Job Done.
I find this method a lot quicker though :-)
  • Again have the source and destination workbook open side by side
  • Click the sheet tab in the source workbook and drag it to the target workbook. If you want to copy the sheet instead of move it, hold down the [Ctrl] key while you drag the sheet to the target workbook.
  • That's it.

Which method do you prefer??????

3. Print Two Or More Excel Worksheets Together.
Here is a great time saving tip.  If you need to print two or more Excel worksheets in the same workbook, we can group the Excel worksheets together and the worksheets don't even need to be next to each other in the workbook.
  • Select your first sheet
  • Hold down the CTRL key then select the other sheets one by one you want to print
  • The sheets will now be in a GROUP and will appear white against the ungrouped
  • In the example below you can see the 3 worksheets that are grouped together
With your group of worksheets still active, go ahead and proceed with your printing tasks as normal.

FEATURED TIP
Three Important Tips to Help Your Pets Get Along from Laura Young

If there's one thing Laura Young, owner of the famous Pumpkin the Raccoon, knows, it's pet relationships. In this week's Dog Trainer newsletter, she shares three tips for helping your pets get along—plus, a bonus three tips from Pumpkin herself!

Rule Number One
When you are first introducing a new pet to your existing animals make sure you do it one at a time and slowly. It is important for each animal to feel comfortable and at ease so there is little stress involved, for you and the animals.

Rule Number Two
During dinner time it is best to make sure they are all fed at the same time but slightly apart. That way if one eats faster than the other there won't be the need to be greedy and enjoy the other pet's food.

Rule Number Three
Make sure each of your pets receive lots of love and attention. Sometimes there can be jealousy and the need to be dominant but equal love can help calm the stress of that.
Three Important Tips to Help Your Pets Get Along from Pumpkin the Raccoon

Rule Number One
Always ensure that the smallest creature in the house is given extra treats. Always. One treat is just not enough.

Rule Number Two
When positioning oneself on the sofa always make sure the smallest creature in the house is given the most amount of space. This is very important to ensure that there is ample room to stretch and play.

Rule Number Three (And this one is very critical)
When it is supper time it is important to allow the smallest creature in the house to receive supper first, and they must be the first to receive seconds, thirds, and then of course bed time treats. And any leftovers should be left by the bed for midnight snacking!
