Manipulating data in Multible worksheets
Hi,
I am currently setting up a workbook with about 10 sheets. Ech sheet has some common employee data. I have linked all of the sheets to one master sheet which holds personal information. I will in the future want to sort delete add records and such. The problem I am having is this: the 4 common columns can be sorted rearranged etc. but when I do so the related data for each row on the other work sheets is not effected. I then have to manually move the data on each respective sheet to match the new order. Shouold I be using a relational data base, or is there some way to lock the data in a row for each separate sheet? I hope someone can help me with this. I currently don't have access to Access at the office. Thanks -- Jason |
Manipulating data in Multible worksheets
Although we don't know exactly how your data is laid out, and how you want
to manipulate it, the likely best advice is: 1. Put all your data in one spreadsheet. Use as many columns as you need. 2. Use Pivot Tables to summarize your data on various sheets. Regards, Fred.
