I wonder if you can help?
I volunteer in an institution and need help maintaining their spreadsheets. There is a mailing list, and then various other spreadsheets representing members of various 'clubs', 'societies' etc etc. Is there any way of keeping them all 'connected' so that a single update updates them all?
For example, occasionally I commit the heinous crime of sending something out from the main mailing list to somebody who has died. I receive acknowledgement of that death and remove the person from the mailing list spreadsheet. However, sometimes I don't know that they were also a member of the 100 Club for example, and so their relatives receive yet another upsetting letter when the next mailing for that goes out. Similarly, when I receive a change of address I can have to update the details four or five separate times, which seems crazy.
There must be an easier - and more foolproof! - way of doing this?!
