Linking table to part of another table that sorts adjacent data

Linking one table to a specific part of another table while ensuring adjacent data remains sorted can be achieved through a process known as "cell linking" or "cell referencing." This allows you to connect data from different tables while maintaining the desired order.

Here's how you can do it:

1. Identify the Source Table: Determine the table containing the data you want to link to another table. This will be your source table.

2. Select the Target Cell: In the source table, select the specific cell or range of cells that you want to link to the other table.

3. Copy the Data: Copy the selected data (Ctrl+C on Windows or Command+C on Mac).

4. Move to the Target Table: Navigate to the location in the target table where you want to insert the linked data.

5. Paste the Data as a Link: Right-click on the target cell and choose "Paste Special" or "Paste as Link" (the exact option may vary depending on your software). This will paste the data from the source table as a link in the target table.

6. Verify Data Integrity: Ensure that the adjacent data in the target table remains sorted as desired. The linked data will automatically update if changes are made in the source table.

This method allows you to maintain a connection between the two tables while preserving the sorting order of adjacent data in the target table. It's particularly useful when you need to reference data from one table without disrupting the organization of another table.
