Cell/row sorting - data from two locations

[TAPS_MikeDion]

Hi everyone,

Hopefully this can be done, and hopefully you follow what I'm trying to do.


Sheet1 (for argument sake, columns = A - G, rows = 2+header)

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: left"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]LAST[/TD]
[TD]FIRST[/TD]
[TD]MON[/TD]
[TD]TUE[/TD]
[TD]WED[/TD]
[TD]THU[/TD]
[TD]FRI[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Jones[/TD]
[TD]Bob[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Smith[/TD]
[TD]Ann[/TD]
[TD]8[/TD]
[TD]8[/TD]
[TD]8[/TD]
[TD]8[/TD]
[TD]8[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]






Sheet2 (just references from sheet1, except for column H)

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 600, align: left"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]LAST[/TD]
[TD]FIRST[/TD]
[TD]MON[/TD]
[TD]TUE[/TD]
[TD]WED[/TD]
[TD]THU[/TD]
[TD]FRI[/TD]
[TD]OTHER[/TD]
[TD]TOTAL[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]=A2[/TD]
[TD]=B2[/TD]
[TD]=C2[/TD]
[TD]=D2[/TD]
[TD]=E2[/TD]
[TD]=F2[/TD]
[TD]=G2[/TD]
[TD]=nothing[/TD]
[TD]=sum(sheet2 A2-H2)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]=A3[/TD]
[TD]=B3[/TD]
[TD]=C3[/TD]
[TD]=D3[/TD]
[TD]=E3[/TD]
[TD]=F3[/TD]
[TD]=G3[/TD]
[TD]=sheet2 X1[/TD]
[TD]=sum(sheet2 A3-H3)[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]






The problem is when sheet1 is sorted (let's say last name & first name), the sheet2 cell X1 reference doesn't follow the sort. In the case of the example, instead of cell X1 data moving from cell H3 to H2, it remains at H3.

Thanks to anyone who replies!

Perhaps you could create a table to hold each person's first name and last name. Then you could use either vlookup or index/match to pull in the data (these would be dynamic and not break due to sorting in Sheet1).

Thanks, I'll try that. Never used VLOOKUP before so I guess it's time to do some researching.
