    Using the Unique Filter Function and Sorting by Count Column

    Cell D3 is a dropdown menu and cell E3 is a dependent drop down menu that populates housing categories based on the neighborhood chosen in D3. Cell D5 holds a UNIQUE/FILTER function to get a list of all the housing categories in Brewerytown:

    In cells E5:E10 I used a simple COUNTIF function to count the number of properties in each category.

    I would like to sort column D5:D10 from largest to smallest based on column E5:E10. I would like the result to be:

    Single Family 9135
    Vacant Land 3865
    Multi Family 2154
    etc.

    Is this possible?

    Have a look at the SORTBY function: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...1-d6a35134f28f

    If you want us to show you, attach a workbook - we can't work with a picture.
