ExcelBanter - Urgent Help pls....

Excel doesn't do this kind of stuff very well.

You could try to create a macro that would do all the validation, but lots of
things could go wrong. (I wouldn't try it.)

In fact, I try to keep all my data in one location (worksheet). It makes
updating much easier. If I need to split it into pieces later, I'll do that
whenever I need to. But my updates will always be done in that first location.

If you think you'd want to try this kind of thing...

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:
