LAselect 2.0
nclutter Your Spreadsheets But Keep On Sorting!nnMany people use Excel as their tool of choice and happily bend over backwards to get the job done. However, Excel's sorter is too limited for the things people use spreadsheets for, forcing them to make their data fit the sorter. nnThis leads to clutter on the sheets and all sorts of hazards creep in. Spreadsheets become hard to understand and difficult to maintain. Chances are that only the developer of the sheet knows how to use it.nnLAselect, however, moves the sorting solution out of harm's way to a macro. It's internals can be tailored to any kind of data. Code is kept at a central location and does not have to be duplicated for reuse, lowering maintenance cost and time. nnStandard sorters only handle simple data but an estimated 80% of information does not qualify as simple. We need a new approach and that is the LAselect FrameWork, a fast programmable list generator. Its separate input/output stages allow the user to freely interpret and reproduce the information. LAselect's interface does not require in-depth knowledge of Visual Basic.nnLAselect sorts alphabetically, numerically, weighted, complex, fuzzy, etc. Regular Expressions sort embedded strings like postal or product codes. nnSome examples of what LAselect would do:nn o Conventional sorting without Excel's limitationsn o Sort VBA arraysn o Create sorted Shortlists, Target-Lists, Reportsn o Sort using Regular Expressionsn o Sort IP-numbers or Chemical Nomenclaturen o Sort on implied or weighted values n o Data-MiningnnLAselect differs much from conventional sorting. Take the time to see what this engine can do for you or you'll miss out on chances to increase your productivity!
