Linked cells between worksheets and sorting
Hello,
I have 500+ rows of data on a worksheet called 'Personal Details'. From this worksheet, two columns (first name and surname) feed into other worksheets by cell linking e.g. into the 'Course Information' worksheet (links are all within same workbook). The other worksheets have additional columns of data e.g. 'Course Information' has a column called Tutor, the tutors names are linked back into the 'Personal Details' worksheet. The problem is for example, when I sort the Surname column on 'Personal Details' A-Z, the tutor name column (linked from 'Course Information') is wrong. Or, if I sort the Tutor Name A-Z on 'Course Information' worksheet, the student names become muddled. Is there a way to fix it? (If Column B is called Surname on 'Personal Details', it might be linked as column E on another sheet). Regards, Emma

Entered in A1 of Course Information sheet and copied down.
=INDIRECT("'Personal Details'!A" & ROW()) Will sort properly when Column A of Personal Details sheet is sorted. Same type of formula in Personal Details sheet linking to Course Information sheet Tutors column.
