Hey Folks,
I've been searching for an answer to this for ages, and if it's been posted before, my sincerest apologies but it has eluded me so far!
In concept, the problem would seem to be minor. As you can see on the attached simplified workbook - I have three sheets "Master", "Project" and "Comms".
Essential what I want is for the "Project" and "Comms" sheets to display the same names as the "Master" sheet (Master!A) as well as a couple of extra columns that are on "Master". More importantly, I want the "Project" and "Comms" sheets to automatically update as soon as I insert a new row into the "Master" sheet (i.e. a new person). I think it's important to note that cells aren't easily referenced (e.g. Master!A2 "Brian Jones" doesn't equal Project!A2) because on the subordinate sheets I have a varying number of header rows which throws it all out of whack.
The database contains 500+ rows and I'm using Excel 2007 if that's relevant.
For clarities sake, I have already tried two solutions to the problem. Firstly, grouping the sheets doesn't work because as I mentioned above the row numbers aren't contiguous. Secondly, I've tried just referencing using =Master!A:A which works beautifully in terms of auto updating but fails miserably in that data is lost because of the varying number of header rows.
I'm sure there must be a relatively simple solution (non-macro based) surely?
Thanks for any help offered.
