Hi brewer, sorry if I hadnt explained it well enough I will try again and use some demo tables.
Sheet 1 is a full inventory report that updates each night when the business closes.
example 1 - Monday morning the inventory level is like this... Column B adn C are updated automatically off the report, Column D is a manual input of where the products are located

Column B Transfers across to Sheet 2 and adjusts accordingly. And using Vlookup I am obtaining all other information I am needing from that report. The issue is on sheet 2 I have a column in which I manually type in the location of the products. (Column C below)

Cell C3 which was relating to the Oranges has not changed.
It is removing the Data that is referenced off sheet 1 but it is leaving the manual data in place, which is giving me incorrect locations.
What I need it to do is move column C sheet2 up or down relevant to column A...
example of what I need sheet 2 to end up like...

Any new products that appear should have a blank cell in Column C, and if a product disappears from column A, I need the entire Row contents relating to that product to disappear with it.
I sincerely hope this makes a bit more sense now. It is frustrating me to no end as I have used spreadhseets in the past where this happens and when it does, it is a great inventory control tool.
Thank you so much again for your help.
