Hello

I'm fairly new at this and could really use some assistance with an Athletic
Score Sheet.  Here's the situation, simplified:

Worksheet1 has columns as shown.  Column X's values are based on a formula,
not just values.

A       B                 C                ...        X

#        firstName     lastName               FinalScore
123    Smith           Becky                    35.15
125    Jones           Suzie                      37.125
129    McNabb      Jenny                     0.000
130    Noorudin     Shalla                     33.875
134    Bianco         Lalia
139    Ford            Henrietta                34.266

the table in WS1 would have several more blank rows at the bottom.  There
are 30 data rows in the whole table.

Now, WorkSheet2 is linked to WorkSheet1, showing only columns A, B, C, X
ranked descending by FinalScore.

Here's my problem:

a)   WorkSheet2 needs to rank the data by column X 'on the fly'.   I can do
a Data/Sort...on WS2   to rank the data, but when values in WS1 change, I
need WS2 to be resorted automatically.

b)   In WS2, athletes who scratch (no score) need to be placed below those
who actually score 0.000.   When I use Data/Sort...   these end up at the
top of the table.

c)   Completely blank lines in the WS1 table should stay at the bottom of
the table in WS2, below any registered athletes who have no score.

The outcome in WS2 should look like:

A       B                 C                ...        X

#        firstName     lastName               FinalScore
125    Jones           Suzie                      37.125
123    Smith           Becky                    35.15
139    Ford            Henrietta                34.266
130    Noorudin     Shalla                     33.875
129    McNabb      Jenny                     0.000
134    Bianco         Lalia

... more completely blank lines at the bottom of the table

I'd HUGELY appreciate any help with this.

Cheers, Bri

If you want to send me a copy of the file, I can set it up for you.
