I want to add a table or table row to a cartesian join and refresh. But I don't want the order of the rows to change

25 views Asked by At

I have joined 8 tables with a cartesian join in excel. I want to record business rules against each row. I anticipate we may discover that we need a new variable and need to add another table or another row to an existing table and refresh the cartesian join. How can I maintain the relationship to the rules already captured? When I try this, the cartesian join refresh causes the rows of business rules to loose the relationship to their original row as the new rows get inserted into the final table rather than appended.
