    Unhappy When inserting new row on sheet 1, cell ref on sheet 2 doesn't reflect the insert

    Hi all,

    I have an excel file (excel 2003), containing 3 sheets. On sheet 1 I have some basic data which needs some sorting and manipulation. On sheet 2 and 3 I want to automatically create some lists based on the data from sheet 1.
    I use the formula; =IF('SHEET1'!A1="";"";' SHEET1'!A1) on sheet 2 and 3 to prevent errors if there are any empty cells.
    Now my issue is that I need to insert new rows and add new data to sheet 1, but I can not get sheet 2 and 3 to reflect the insert of the new row, and the new data. I only get a gab in cell references; C15, C16, C18, C19 on sheet 2 if I insert a new row 17 on sheet 1.
    How can I get around this issue ??

    Something like =IF(Index(Sheet1!A:A,Row())="","",Index(Sheet1!A:A,Row())). You'd still have to drag the formula down in Sheet2 as far down as the list goes in Sheet1, but this should work, I think.
    Life is about perseverance. Remember: today's mighty oak tree is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
