Default Automatic Sorting?

Thanks to everyone!

I used Bob's suggestion and it worked great. I never
would have figured that out on my own.

I still don't know how the INDEX Function works, but I
was able to use Bob's coding and now the client name and
sales results are tied together.

Thanks again, you guys are awesome!

Scott,

You can do it without sorting.

On the summary page, for the Top 10, you can get the

value like so

=LARGE(Sheet1!A:A,ROW(A1))

and just copy down 9 rows.

If you want some related data, use a formula like

INDEX(Sheet1!B:B,MATCH(A1,Sheet1!A:A,0))

Is there a way that Excel can automatically sort a

column?

I am working on a spreadsheet where the end user "cut

and
pastes" data from an outside source to Excel. The

Excel
spreadsheet then manipulates the data and creates a one
page presentation piece.

One of the features on the presentation piece is a "Top
10 Client" listing - this is why I want automatic

sorting.

I know how to sort the data manually, using the Data -
Sort technique, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to

train
the end users how to perform that step.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.
