Hi, I have two sheets that some of the cells are linked( referenced). Sheet 1 is a sport ladder, and the second sheet is the teams scoring percentages etc. Whenthe sheet1 is updated and sorted the referenced cells in sheet2 are not updated. This makes a real mess of sheet2.

Welcome to the Board!

I'm not sure about the HTML Maker issue, you might want to check the HTML Maker FAQ on that one.

As for the other, if you're referring to the first sheet with simple cell ref's, like =A1, you might want to look at INDIRECT in the helpfile, or probably easier, just setup sheet2 with VLOOKUPs.

Post back if you need some examples of either, and someone will post 'em, but I'm outta' here!

Hope that helps,

Smitty

EDIT: OK, something's funky there, at least on my screen, so I reported the post. Maybe one of the brilliant Admin folks can get it sorted.

I haven't explained the problem sufficiently.

Sheet 1 is a ladder of team performance in descending order, ie. as each round is played and teams win and lose this sheet is manually updated with wins & losses, the order on the ladder and is then sorted. This rearranges the list into the best down to worst performing team.

The number of games palyed by each team is listed in the column 'games' and the cells in this column are referenced in sheet two to determine the averages of 'Points won',average, 'Points against', average.

The problem is when sheet one is sorted the cell references used in sheet two to determine the averages are not updated during the sort. This means that after the sort the cell references used to determine the averages for each team are incorrect and the data in sheet two is then also incorrect.
