    automatically copy items from a changing list into a sortable table

    Hi,

    I have a list (formatted as a table) on one sheet that I want users to be able to change. On another sheet there is a table that needs to have every item from the list in the first column. So far I have achieved this by using "=Table2[[#This Row],[Crop List]]" in every cell of the column where I want the list copied. ("Table2" is the list, "Crop List" is the header on the list.) This basically works, but it has some drawbacks:

    1) When I try to sort the table, the items referencing the list are stuck in their original positions and no longer match the other columns.

    2) I have to have a large number of cells displaying "#VALUE!" at the bottom of my table because they refer to empty cells in the list which might later be filled.

    Any suggestions?

    In case my explanation wasn't clear, I've attached a copy of the workbook. Everything I'm talking about is on the first two sheets, "Lists" and "Pricing."

    Thanks!
