    Auto charting?

    Hi. I'm making an excel spreadsheet. The sheet itself is a chart of a huge area divided into a lot of little territories. One of the columns is "months since last worked." Is it possible to have excel say under that column every month up the number? Also, can you make it so that the ones with the highest numbers are automatically put to the top?

    To automatically put the highest numbers on top, you would likely need either a macro or some combination of a ranking formula and then a lookup off that rank. A better choice is to probably just sort it when you need it sorted.
    For your first problem, you need (and assumedly have) the date last worked for each row. If you do, have this in a cell =TODAY(). Then, in months since last worked, =MONTH($A$1-B3)+(YEAR($A$1-B3)-1900)*12, if A1 has today's date and B3 is the first cell in the months since worked column. If you have the first date in Excel set to 1/1/1904 instead of 1/1/1900, you will have to adjust the year accordingly.
