    Question Adding items from multiple sheets in pivot table (BOM)

    I am trying to create a pivot table to manage multiple Bill of Materials (BOM). Each table has the same headers like item number, description and qty. The tables have different amount of rows. Some of the items in the different tables are the same, like the same bolt used in different sub assemblies. I managed to get multiple tables to be available in my pivot table by making them into tables first and then activating the "add to Data Model" option when selecting the first table to make the pivot table. I then created a relationship between the tables with the PartNo property. However, only the first table is showing up as a result in my table and the number of bolts across the tables does not add up.

    Example, Table 1:

    PartNo Description QTY
    B01 Bolt 2
    N02 Nut 2
    BR01 Bracket 90deg 1

    Example, Table 2:

    PartNo Description QTY
    B01 Bolt 2
    N02 Nut 2
    BR02 Bracket 45deg 1

    Example, Result I would like:

    PartNo Description QTY
    B01 Bolt 4
    N02 Nut 4
    BR01 Bracket 90deg 1
    BR02 Bracket 45deg 1

    What I get instead is basically table 1.

    What do I have to do to have it include all tables?

    Re: Adding items from multiple sheets in pivot table (BOM)

    I believe that you are going to need either power pivot or power query to accomplish what you want. Unfortunately neither of those was available in the 2000 version of Excel.
    I can show you a way to get the sums using a formula (see sheet 4).
    1) Make a list of all part numbers [and descriptions (optional)] (i.e. columns A:B)
    2) Make a list of the sheets (i.e. column J)
    3) Make a named range from the list of sheets
    4) Use the following formula (i.e. column C):
    Formula: copy to clipboard
