Hello I need help with issues I'm external links to a table when table rows are deleted and the reference workbook (book1) is not open.

below Book2 has formula that references table in Book1. When a table row/rows are delete in Book1 saved and closed then if the Book2 is opened without Book1 opened the data in Book2 is incorrect. I have noticed that the results shift up the amount of rows being deleted.

ex:
if table row of "KIARA BRACEY" & "JACOB KACHINKO" are deleted the results from Book2 Values move up for everyone below the the agents. DONALD GARNER in BOOK2 Leave will become JACOB MORRIS

Updating Links every time runs very slow due to the amount of data External Links (over 1000 Cells) in BOOK2 have

Here are some solutions I think will solve this that I can not figure out

Is there a way to update Links quickly, or change my formula to solve this, or VBA code in Book2 to open Book1 (in read only)

Let me know if I need to clarify anything, any help will be greatly appreciated.
