Try this ..

Suppose we want to link what's within Sheet1's A1:E100
in Sheet2's A1:E100

In Sheet2,

Put in A1:
=IF(OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,ROW()-1,COLUMN()-1)=0,"",
OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,ROW()-1,COLUMN()-1))

Copy A1 across to say, H1, fill down to H150 (say)

Fill a range large enough to accommodate the
max expected "expansion"* of the original range in Sheet1
*via subsequent insertion of rows/cols within the original range

Sheet2 will return the required results from Sheet1

For formats, do a Copy Paste special Formats OK
(Copy from Sheet1, Paste special into Sheet2.
This part is manual but should be simple to execute)

Hi. I am having an issue with 2 linked spreadsheets. I need to have the
same data in both sheets...I linked them so i only have to enter data
in one of them to save time. Occasionally i need to insert a new row in
the first sheet to keep similar items together. Is it possible to have
that new row (and the data i enter in it) automatically created in the
second spreadsheet? At this time I have to create a new row and then
link the cell in the second sheet manually every time. Is there a
quicker way? Thanks in advance...
