Look closely at your original macro."normally", the sort technique is to
establish the sort "keys"(multiples allowed)Then, set the overall range to be
sorted and apply the "keys".
So, if your data is in Columns DA:DBYou'd first define how to sort column DA
(SortFields.Add Key:=Range("DA1:DA7986")...)then, if you're sorting also by DB,
you'd do that separately.
THEN, sort the data with:.SetRange Range(FinalSearch)
the SortFields should be single columns, so it wouldn't be DA1:DB... it would
be DA1:DA...
So you can't user FinalSearch in both places.
At the most you could use:FinalRow = 7986
SortFields.Add Key:=Range("DA1:DA" & FinalRow) _
and .SetRange Range(("DA1:DB" & FinalRow)
Secondly:
Do you have data BELOW row 7986 in the DA:DB columns that you do not want
sorted?
I often record a macro then simply change the row to 65000 (since my files
sometimes are shared with Excel 2003 users)
so, changing your macro to:
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Data Sheet").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range( _
"DA1:DA65000"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending,
DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Data Sheet").Sort
.SetRange Range("DA1:DB65000")
