Default Editing data on multiple worksheets

Don't do it.

Keep your data that you update in one worksheet. Then try to use data|sort or
data|filter|autofilter to see what you want.

But if you have to make separate worksheets (to share with customers???), you
can split the data (as a report--not for updating) into different worksheets.

You may want to look at the way Ron de Bruin and Debra Dalgleish approached it:

Ron de Bruin's EasyFilter addin:

Code from Debra Dalgleish's site:

Create New Sheets from Filtered List -- uses an Advanced Filter to create
separate sheet of orders for each sales rep visible in a filtered list; macro
automates the filter. AdvFilterRepFiltered.xls 35 kb

Update Sheets from Master -- uses an Advanced Filter to send data from
Master sheet to individual worksheets -- replaces old data with current.
AdvFilterCity.xls 55 kb

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

I created a workbook, that contains all of the same customes and data. I want
to know if there is a way that when I edit data on the first worksheet, the
data will edit also, even though they are in different cells. Any
suggestions??
