Sorting rows without messing up cell references??
If you can find a unique value in each table, maybe you could change your
formulas around. Say one table is on sheet1, A1:E99 and your common unique key is in column A. And you want to use what's in column E of that table: =vlookup(c13,sheet1!$a$1:$e$99,5,false) Will return that value. If the key value is not in the leftmost column of the table, you could use a different formula: (say it's in column C and you want to bring back column A, this time) =index(sheet1!$a$1:$a$99,match(c13,sheet1!$c$1:$c$ 99,0)) Direct links to other sheets don't work so well when you want to sort it.

If I change all the row references to absolute, things get mess up if I sort the original table being referred to. Is there any way to get around this without manually cutting and pasting each row around into the right sort order? Thanks!!! --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ -- Dave Peterson |
