    Post Automatic Sorting by Price

    I am working on a wine list for my job. My plan was to make it as easy to use as possible. I created a worksheet that is formatted to print. Each page that is printed I broke into individual worksheets.

    What I would like to do is set the formulas so that someone can make a change to the price of a wine and the formulas automatically arrange the list under the section by price. I tried googling for an answer, but was only able to come up with a formula that would affect 1 column, not two (the price obviously needs to be attached to the name of the wine).

    Additionally, if it is possible, I would also like set it up so that if there is no value that it simply not display the value. On the worksheet with the formulas if there is no data in the cell, it displays a '0'. My workaround is to simply put in a space.

    My excel skills are only intermediate and the formulas that I used to pull that data from the individuals worksheets is something like: ='sheetname'!A3. Setting it up this way has caused some problems however. When someone goes to edit by cutting and pasting cells, a !#REF error comes up. To work around that for now I disallowed cutting in the sheets options (Tools>Options) and told them to only make changes by coping and pasting.

    I have enclosed the current work, and would GREATLY appreciate any help I can get.

    Thank you so much in advance.

    I would suggest you use an =if statement to fix this. Assume the cell you are testing is C1.

    =if(C1="","",C1)

    Re: Automatic Sorting by Price

    Thank you for that suggestion Alan. At the present time it is more important that data be automatically sorted by price (i.e. if the price in is B2, then it automatically places the data from A2 as well - the name of the wine). However, if this is not a reality, then I will implement this to at least eliminate one of the problems.

    Thanks again.
