How do you consolidate data?

RE: excel spreadsheet

Hello Veera

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

The Consolidate feature in Excel allows you to summarise data from different worksheets together.

To consolidate data:
1. Select a cell that will represent the top left corner of the data, when the consolidation is completed.
2. Click on the first sheet that contains data you would like to include in the consolidation/summary.
3. Click under Reference, and drag over the data to include in the consolidation, including data headings.
4. Click Add.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, gathering data from different sheets.
6. Tick the Use Labels in Top Row and Left Column options.
7. If you would like the consolidated/summary data to be linked to the data you have selected from each worksheet (i.e. the summary to be updated) then tick the Create Links to Source Data box as well.
8. Click OK. The consolidated/summarised data should appear on the worksheet that you had selected the cell on in step 1.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Kind regards
Amanda

Excel tip:

Reconciling a list to correspond with another

May have a list that needs to make but on another sheet one list seems to be out, eg. product list one sheet contains all product and inventory data, while the other contains pricing data. Both need to match with all products but there is more products in one list than the other. To find the disparaging product compare data in the two columns that need to match Make sure that order the same way.
Create another column in the sheet that has the most items and type in the first cell


=Exact(text1,text2) text1 being the cell that you want compared with text2 cell reference. Drag to filldown and your first false will give you for first cells that does not match. Correct insert the row with data in other sheet and continue the process until all the data returns true. Delete the column inserted.
