I'm not too strong with Excel so this might be an easy question.

I have a large workbook with about 50K rows and about 100 columns. I need to
sort this large range of data by different columns from time to time. I know
how to sort it by just holding down the left mouse button and dragging the
highlighted area to include the range. Then I go to "data" / "Sort". This
just takes way too long to do each time for a range this size.

I hope there is a better way to include this large range without having to
"grab" it all manually.

Is there?

THANKS.
