Default Excel 2003 - Referencing data in a table to use in formulas

How do you reference data in a table for use in formulas where the data table
will be updated and resorted from time to time, thus changing the row
location of the original data. The VLOOKUP function will work if you use a
text string in the 'Look_up_value' field, but inputting text strings in every
formula is very time consuming. Is there a way to easily specify the 'text
string' in a cell as the 'Look_up_value', rather than the cell address, whose
contents will change when you resort the table after adding new data.
