    Create a Pivot Table from 3 Name Ranges

    I have a spreadsheet with multiple worksheets. I have created 3 name ranges and tables from 3 different worksheets. The 3 ranges have a common column called Site. One of the ranges has unique values and the other 2 ranges have multiple values of Site. I have tried to create the relationships but it's not working properly. I will attach the spreadsheet. The 3 sheets in question are Sites, Weekly Archives and Weekly Income. I want to use Site as the filter and just for the moment a couple of fields from each of the other 2 ranges. Both should include the name field. Let me know if you need any further info. Many thanks in advance.

    What are the "couple of fields from each of the other 2 ranges" that you want?

    Actually you are well on your way given that you already have data in tables. It seems like VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH should work for you.
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.

    ok so what you're suggesting is forget the pivot table? You might have a point. I'll give it a go and see if I can get the report I need. Initially I was suggesting any 2 fields but one must be the name just a test. I've got to go back to the client and find exactly what fields she wants. Many thanks for replying to my question.

    Add the vlookups and index/match to the first table containing the sites. Wrap them in an IfError and set the error condition to "".
