In Excel, ascending sorting is a common operation that sorts data in order from smallest to largest. Here are the steps to sort in ascending order:
Select data: First, you need to select the data that needs to be sorted. Click and drag the mouse to select the cells or columns that need to be sorted.
Click Sort: On the selected data, right-click and select Sort. Or find "Sort" in the "Data" option of the start menu and tap on it.
Select Ascending: In the Sort dialog box that appears, select Ascending.
OK sorting: Click the "OK" button, and Excel will sort the data in ascending order.
The above steps are applicable to Excel 2016 version, other versions may operate slightly differently.
It should be noted that if there are headers or column names in the data, excel will automatically put them on top of the sorted data. If you need to change this default behavior, you can adjust it in the sort dialog.
In addition, Excel also provides other sorting options, such as sorting by rows, custom sorting, and more. These options can be selected and used as needed.
If you have a large amount of data during the sorting operation, it is recommended that you back up the data first to prevent data loss or corruption due to unexpected situations.
Hope the above information can be helpful to you.
