Excel - COLUMN Function Problem - Expert Solution

Question description:
This user has given permission to use the problem statement for this blog.

I have in the past used a function in Excel to create a To Do list and once you enter a date in the completed column, the entire row drops to the bottom of the list as it has been completed. The item is therefore not deleted from the list but simply goes to the bottom. Cant find anywhere how to use this function or what it is called.
