I have 5 sheets representing 5 days in a week. Each day i change the content of sheet 5 and then i have a table in a 6th sheet that orders data from the 5 sheets starting with sheet 1.

July 6 2010: some data from sheet 1
July 5 2010: some data from sheet 2
July 4 2010: some data from sheet 3
July 3 2010: some data from sheet 4
July 2 2010: some data from sheet 5

Now on July 7 I change data in sheet 5 as I only collect data from 5 most recent days

so now some reordering needs to follow...

sheet 1 (july 6) becomes sheet 2
sheet 2 (july 5) becomes sheet 3
sheet 3 (july 4) becomes sheet 4
sheet 4 (july 3) becomes sheet 5
sheet 5 (july 7) becomes sheet 1

but if i do this the formula's in the table of the 6th sheet change also so they keep referring to the original sheet. So after the renaming:

July 6 2010: some data from sheet 2
July 5 2010: some data from sheet 3
July 4 2010: some data from sheet 4
July 3 2010: some data from sheet 5
July 7 2010: some data from sheet 1

but that's not what I want I want to keep the formula's referring to the same sheets:

July 7 2010: some data from sheet 1
July 6 2010: some data from sheet 2
July 5 2010: some data from sheet 3
July 4 2010: some data from sheet 4
July 3 2010: some data from sheet 5

Hope u understand my problem...

I guess I don't understand your problem. Because if you want to change this
July 6 2010: some data from sheet 2
July 5 2010: some data from sheet 3
July 4 2010: some data from sheet 4
July 3 2010: some data from sheet 5
July 7 2010: some data from sheet 1

into this

July 7 2010: some data from sheet 1
July 6 2010: some data from sheet 2
July 5 2010: some data from sheet 3
July 4 2010: some data from sheet 4
July 3 2010: some data from sheet 5

you just have to sort your data. And that's not where you are after right?

Could you please upload a sample EXCEL file WITH sample data, macro, formula , conditional formatting etc on some shared site like https://authentification.site , http://docs.google.com, http://wikisend.com/ , http://www.editgrid.com etc and post back here the link to allow better understanding of how it is now and how you foresee. Based on the sample book, could you re-explain your problem too
