I'm guessing that somehow you wish to retain the associations in say col D
with a key col (eg names or ids) Then one route, instead of using simple
links to associate would be to use index/match

Try Debra Dalgleish's nice coverage on INDEX/MATCH at her:

INDEX/MATCH

There's also some sample workbooks available for d/l & study

Is it possible to keep the cell's orginal formulas after it's been sorted?
E.g. if before sorting D3 = "D1", after sorting, D3 becomes to position of
"E4", is it possible to make the "E4" still equal to "D1"?
It sounds weird, right?
