I have a spreadsheet that is linked to a table. I wish to put data next to the names in various columns. Is there any way that I can prevent the data moving up or down when adding or deleting names from the linked table?
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
What I hear you say is that you're editing or adding new data to a linked table. The table gets refreshed and the data that once was associated to a certain person or item has moved to a new row?

Are you adding this new data back to the linked table? I would think you need to work with a static version, and this is how I'm imagining this going.
* The table gets refreshed before adding new data.
* The table gets copied to a new sheet as static values
* New data is added or changed
* Data is merged with original linked table and static table is wiped clean
* Table is refreshed and the process starts again

If this process is adopted, you'll need some code to make the static table and also to merge the data back to the link.
