Data Integrity Across Five Sheets

Hi,

Yes. This is child’s play, I’m sorry. I suck at Excel.

I’m an attorney, and I want to track a ton of data points, dates, etc. for my cases, but in 4-5 categories.

I’ve separated the categories into distinct sheets (e.g. background, litigation dates, evidence, experts).

I added the =‘sheet 1’ !A2 formula to later sheets, so when I add a case to the first page, it adds it to every other sheet.

The problem: if I change how the first column is sorted (e.g. alphabetical vs. filing date) the other sheets don’t keep up with the row integrity.

(1) is this a better solution via manual entry (keep each sheet distinct, with no cross sheet reference)?

(2) is there an easy solution to keep data integrity across rows?
