Moving Formulas when Sorting
Hi All & Happy Christmas & New year,
How can I sort a table and have the formulas move to the relevant new postition? I'm working on a World Cup spreadsheet so I've got each table as follows a b c d e f g h i P W D L F A Pts GD Team A Team B Team C Team D The fixtures are below the table and this is where each teams results are from in the table. EG. In cell C2 (Team A Won) the formula is =SUM(A11+A15+K21) In cell D2 (Team A Draw) =SUM(B11+B15+L21) These formulas should always be looking at these cells. (The cells refered to in the above formulae will either be 1 or 0). When I go to sort the table it messes up the formulas & the results that should be shown. If Team D moves to 1st place (moves up 3 places) it also adjusts the formulas for team D & looks in totally wrong cells (3 rows above original cells) !!!!!!!! Thanks in advance for all answers & help John |

In what way do you intend that =SUM(A11+A15+K21) should be different from
=A11+A15+K21, or =SUM(B11+B15+L21) to be different from =B11+B15+L21 ? Perhaps you need to look at Excel help for the SUM function ? -- David Biddulph "Originalgoth" wrote in message ...

As far as I remember - is cases where the formulas are refer to cells OUTSIDE
the sorted range - they should use Absolute Row & Column references (with 2 Dollar symbols) Micky "Originalgoth" wrote: Hi All & Happy Christmas & New year, How can I sort a table and have the formulas move to the relevant new postition?

Thanks Micky,
That works great. Does exactly what I wanted it to do. To David, It didn't really make any difference by ommiting the SUM bit but thanks anyway.
