I am having similar difficulty. Relative cell reference act like an absolute reference. When the precedent worksheet is sorted the descendant worksheet reflects the cell reference prior to the sort. My experience has been that by using relative reference formats =A1 the cell reference would change with a sort in the precedent worksheet, always giving the same result in the descendant worksheet. Using absolute reference would force the data to always reflect what was in the cell referenced. If 10 was in cell A1 and a sort moved it to A99, the number 10 would still be reported in the linked cell. Using absolute reference =$A$1, the sort would report whatever data was moved
into the =$A$1 cell. Never had this happen before and have yet to resolve. i'm wondering if there is a global setting that lock the spreedsheet or if various format setting cause this problem.
