    Dynamic Pivot tables from two Sheets

    Hi,

    I am aware of how to use OFFSET function for building dynamic pivot tables. However I was wondering if there is a way to build the dynamic table from 2 sheets where both of the sheets have the same set of defined columns. Allow me to elaborate

    Sheet1
    Name Age Location Profession
    Jack 10 NY IT
    Jill 12 NY IT
    Mary 12 NY IT

    Sheet1
    Name Age Location Profession
    Tom 10 NY IT
    Tim 12 NY IT


    So if I wanted to do a dynamic pivot table on Sheet1, I would do =offset($a$1,0,0,counta($a$1:$a:$60000),4). This works fine, whenever a new row is added.

    The reason I need to put use two sheets is because they are being pulled from different sources.

    Even it is possible to do it by merging by macros I am willing to go that route. Right now I manually copy from Sheet 2 onto Sheet1 (after Sheet1's data gets updated)

    Hi Sid,

    With version 2003 of Excel you can't do a merge of the two tables automatically. You are stuck doing it as you have.

    NOW - in 2010 to 2016 of Excel there is a new tool called Power Query where you can build a Pivot Table from two different sheets and leave the data on those sheets.

    If you could upgrade to a newer version you could follow many of the demo. One is at: http://www.excelguru.ca/blog/2014/11...g-power-query/
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
