    Sorting and updating list in multiple tabs

    I have created a file with 12 tabs – each tab contains the same list sorted alphabetically and contains different monthly information (revenue, stock on hand, margin etc.) which is hard coded by different departments every month.

    Tab 1 has the master data and Items are all the time added to this master data list. At present, to update the other tabs when an item is added to the master data, I have to manually insert the items by inserting row in each tab to maintain the alphabetical order in all the tabs.

    Is there any way whereby when an item is added to the master list in tab 1, the list in all tabs is automatically sorted alphabetically and corresponding data updated?

    All of that sounds like a macro of some kind. I'd need to see this workbook to suggest anything specific.

    Sample file attached.

    Items are added in the tab = "Master" which should update the other tabs in alphabetical order.

    Data in each of the other tabs is updated by a department on a monthly basis.

    A worksheet_change event built into the Master can take care of this.
