Linking Excel Tables

[Blue Max]

Is there any way to link two separate Excel tables so that the data flows
between the tables and sorts as if the two were just one table?

We have worksheets where the quantity of data forces us to place the data in
multiple tables, for example in three tables across a landscape page.
However, we want the data in the three tables to behave as a single table,
much like linked text frames in a page layout program. When adding data we
simply want the overflow to be pushed into the adjoining table. Likewise,
when we sort the data we want the data to be sorted in all three tables and
redisplayed properly sorted and arranged across the tables.

Is this possible? Thank you for any help with this issue.

=Sheet1!A1 dragged down an across, or Group the Sheets and what you type in
1 Worksheet will also show on the others in the Group. I.e Hold down your
Ctrl key and select the sheet tabs of those you wish to group. Don't forget
to ungroup

Thanks for the reply, Dave. However, I still don't understand as follows:

FIRST, grouping tabs only assures that changes on one worksheet are
reflected on the other sheets. That is not particularly what we want since,
one, we are not using multiple sheets and, two, we are not simply looking
for a copy of the table, but how to link tables so the multiple tables act
as a single contiguous table.

SECOND, dragging down and across simply selects a contiguous range. Are you
inferring, however, that the range can be broken into three separate
segments (or tables) that will allow data to flow across segments (or
tables) as if it were a single table? If so, this may represents a solution
for us.

THIRD, to summarize our need, we need data to flow between three
side-by-side tables, on the same worksheet, as if it were a single table.

Thanks,

Richard
