Automatic amalgamation

[Spreadsheet]

I have a document with several worksheets, each one containing data from
a specific geographic area. I also have one worksheet that contains all
of the data from every other worksheet - a master worksheet
representing all of the areas. Currently whenever I update one of the
area worksheets I have to manually copy the new information onto the
master worksheet. Is there a way for this master worksheet to
automatically update every time I add new information into any of the
area worksheets?

All you have to do is make reference to the cell on the second sheet that you
wish to collect data for. For example:
if you have data on sheet "Area1" in cell A1 and want it on your master
sheet in a specific cell, click on that cell and type in =Area1!A1

Tom,

The reason that I did not think that your suggestions would work for my
spreadsheet is that I need the master worksheet to be sorted
automatically. If I let a cell on the master sheet =Area1!A10, which
currently is empty, when I sort the data on the master sheet, the
blanks go to the top. Furthermore, when I do enter data into Area1!A10,
it remains among the blank cells at the top, whereas I want it to be
automatically sorted to its rightful place in the master worksheet. Any
suggestions?
