Consolidating data

how do you select the different data ranges

RE: consolidating data

Hi Samantha

Thank you for your question. You could create a data range by highlighting a block of cells then from the Data ribbon choosing Name a Range then from the menu choosing Name a Range once more.

The dialogue box that appears will let you give your range of data a name. Alternatively if you highlight a column or row of data and include a label in your highlight choose the Create option and tell Excel when prompted where to find your labels (eg Top or Left). Excel will create ranges and name them based on the labels you highlighted.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew


 

Excel tip:

Fill formulae across a sheet

To copy a formula down a spreadsheet where there is data underneath, to the left or to the right of the formula, double-click on the fill handle. The fill handle is the little black cross that appears in the bottom right-hand corner of the formula cell. Unfortunately, no similar facility exists to copy formulae across the sheet.

One reasonably quick way to copy an existing formula across a sheet is to select the formula and the cells on the right to which you want to copy it. Then press Ctrl+R to copy the formula across the selected range, or, if you are menu-minded, use the Edit|Fill|Right command.
