Excel Formulas Messing Up References When Sorting Referenced Sheet

Copper Contributor

I have a spreadsheet that I am trying to do a mail merge on where email people the month of their meeting. I have created tabs for each month (1-12) which have reference formulas to the main sheet Titled "All Corps".   If the number in column C is 1 then it should go in sheet "Jan" and so forth.  If any fields are changed on the main All Corps Screen they need to also change on the monthly sheet.

 

I want to sort "All Corps" A to Z but if I do the references on the different month sheets get screwed up.

 

How can I make A-Z formatting on "All Corps" and have still have monthly sheets sorted A-Z?

 

Please note that the "All Corps" list is not static and there will need to be new people added to the lists and sorted in A-Z.

 

Thank you for your help!

Instead of references please use XLOOKUP() or similar formula, depends on which version of Excel you are.

With that sorting won't affect data in this sheet.
