    Unable to sort data in excel with cells containing if & hlookup

    I am trying to sort a column of data in excel. The cells to be sorted have
    formulas with multiple if and hlookups statements.

    I went through the sort wizard but I do not find the data sorted. Do you
    know of any limitations of sorting with formulas contained in the cells?


    Here is an example cell:

    =IF(HLOOKUP("Calendar
    Day",Results!$6:$146,ROW()-13,FALSE)="",NA(),IF(HLOOKUP("Calendar
    Day",Results!$6:$146,ROW()-13,FALSE)="Calendar Day",NA(),HLOOKUP("Calendar
    Day",Results!$6:$146,ROW()-13,FALSE)))

    Figured out the problem. I was trying to sort in the wrong place--the source
    data must be sorted on the other sheet.
