Summarize Multiple Excel Worksheets – Consolidate Data By Position

There are many ways to Summarize the data that is stored in multiple Excel Worksheets or Workbooks. Pivot Tables are great for producing summaries. However, many people do not use – or do not know how to use – Pivot Tables, so let me demonstrate how to use Excel’s Consolidate Data Tool to get the job done.

Consolidate Data By Position

In this scenario, I will take the data from four identical worksheets and consolidate the sales numbers in a new worksheet. First, without using a “Link” to keep the data in the consolidated worksheet current and then I show you how to create a link to the Source Data.

But… there is a “Got’cha Step” when you link sources. It is possible to “double your sales numbers” without realizing it! This might make you feel good when you first see this. However, this is not good – when you are found out. And, trust me on this, someone will definitely find this error!

SUM Across Group of Excel Worksheets

As a bonus, I include another technique to SUM cells from multiple worksheets. Watch as I show you this “trick” – how to use the SUM() Function to total data across a contiguous group of Excel worksheets. It really is a great tip to learn!

Two Ways to Produce an Executive Summary of an Excel List

On one of the technology blogs that I follow, there is a debate over the best way to produce an Executive Summary of the information in an Excel Data List. Some people like the idea of using Excel’s =SUMIF() Function for this while others recommend creating a Pivot Table as the summary.

You decide – after watching this short video demonstration using both approaches. And, add a comment or drop me an email to let me know your thoughts.

This Excel Video Lesson is available for you to download as a Podcast on iTunes.

Danny Rocks Tips and Timesavers

Many people would like to know how to create Pivot Tables in Excel, but they are afraid to try them because they fear that they will “harm the data”in the source worksheet. Here is the good news! With a Pivot Table, you cannot possibly harm or even change the source data!
Watch as I show you how to create a Pivot Table – you will be amazed at how easy they are to create, and even more amazed at how powerful they are in helping you to analyze your data.
(Note: This is a repost. I am now making many of my video lessons available – for free – as Podcasts and I need to feed them to the iTunes store.)

I Have Updated My Index of Excel Video Lessons

As part of the process of reorganizing my website, I have updated my “Index of Excel Video Lessons” page. The content of this page will be updated as I add each new Excel Video Training Lesson. So, I suggest that you click here to go to the Video Index and then save the page as one of your “Favorites” if you want to learn how to really get the most out of Excel or to find a quick answer when you are using Excel.

On the Index Page you can see an organized listing of my Excel Videos by Category – e.g. Formulas, Formatting, Pivot Tables “What-if” Analysis, etc. Each lesson is “hyperlinked” so that you can just click on the topic to go directly to the lesson that you are interested in.

I indicate in the title if the lesson is specific to Excel 2007.  All my new Excel video lessons are created using Excel 2007.

If there is a topic that you would like me to cover, send me an e-mail message – danny@thecompanyrocks.com

If you enjoy my video instruction, I encourage you to purchase my DVD, “The 50 Best Tips for Excel 2007.” The DVD contains over 5 1/2 hours of Tips, Tricks & Techniques to help you to master the program – and to save a considerable amount of time while working in Excel! Click here to enter my secure shopping site.

Thank you for your support and encouragement!
