Default Copy data into another worksheet and have it update automatically?

I would think that some of the previous suggestions were to not do this. Keep
your data in one spot. If you need to extract the data later, you can. But do
the updates only in that one location.

If you really have to keep the data in multiple locations, then I think the only
way to insure what you want is to do it manually and double, triple, ... check
your input.

Came across this old thread, which was similar to what I needed, but
unfortunately the solutions recommended back then involved doing the
worksheet other ways.

So my question is: If I have a list on one worksheet, which is then copied
to a second worksheet, how do I ensure the second updates if I add new rows
or change the text to the first.

Kind Regards

My boss sent me a workbook that at present contains only one sheet, however
he wants me to copy certain data (depending on column A) into a second sheet
and other data into a third sheet, but have it update on sheets 2 and 3 when
the data on sheet1 is changed, added, or deleted. Column A contains a
general classification, and he wants certain classifications on sheet2 and
other classifications on sheet3. There are no formulas, just data. It's
just a big list of materials and their locations and vendors, etc. Can this
be done?
