    "dynamic" referencing

    Hi,
    My problem is the following:
    I am using filters to change the order of my data on a number of worksheets. Many cells refer to another cell on the previous worksheet. Eg: the February sheet cell A1 refers to January A1. The problem is that when I change the order (using filters) on sheet January, I want the references on sheet February to "move" with the cells on sheet January. I have rows on sheet January that do not (and should not) appear on sheet February. However, when I change the order or filter my data on sheet January it messes up my data on sheet February.
    Any idea?
    Thanks.

    Cool Re: "dynamic" referencing

    are you using absolute($A$1) or dynamic(A1) references? Excel should automatically change a dynamic reference for you.

    Example:

    place a value in cell A1
    place the formula "=A1" in Cell B1
    If you cut cell A1 and paste to cell A4
    the formula in B1 will change to "=A4"

    having a $ in front of the column or row portion of the reference makes it absolute. Like wise if you were to copy cell B1 to C1 it would change the formula to "=B1".
