Hi all:
I have an Excel 2007 file that uses several sheets. Some fields in sheet 1 are linked to data in sheet 2 (called BC Product Costs), so that when I change the data in sheet 2, sheet 1 automatically gets updated. A field value may look like this:
='BC Product Costs '!I11
When I move rows or columns around in sheet 2, or I add new rows or columns, sheet one automatically gets updated and there is no problem. Instead of I11, it may now say I14, but the value of I14 is still taken and placed in the appropriate field in sheet 1.
However, when I sort the data in sheet 2, the data in sheet 1 no longer get updated correctly. Say, I sort the data so that field I11 now becomes I16. In sheet 1, the corresponding field is still taking the data from sheet to, I11 instead of from I16. So it shows incorrect data !
I have found no way that allows me to sort the data in sheet 2 in a way without messing up the data in sheet 1. Anyone who can help me with this would make my day!
