RE: Excel 2007
Hi Nikhil
Thanks for getting in touch. The ability to consolidate multiple ranges into one PivotTable was widely available in older versions of Excel, then became hidden away. Luckily you can still access this feature, but it's not obvious: you need an unusual key combination to do it.
Press ALT, D, P in order, not altogether. This will bring up the older PivotTable wizard. On the wizard choose Multiple Consolidation Ranges, start with Create a Single Page Field and finally in Range select the cells you need, press Add and then repeat for all the ranges you want to include in your PivotTable.
I hope this helps, please let us know if you have any issues.
Kind regards

RE: Excel 2007
Unfortunately, this method doesn't work. The text data isn't retained. The pivot table tries to sum or count the text rather than retain the original text.
This method was also suggested during the training however it was unsuccessful.
Am I selecting wrong options?

RE: Excel 2007
Hi Nikhil
Thanks for your reply. I see what you mean by text data. Generally PivotTables don't display text, more often they show numerical results.
Perhaps it would be easier if you were able to send over your file with an explanation of what you'd like to see in the table? There may be a better way to achieve what you need.
