    Multi Sheet pivot table

    Hello everyone

    i have 8 sheet (ZSC, MBZ, NAH, MAK, RAS, HNZ, KBZ, SHA) that are exactly the same but for different venues

    Each sheet has 9 subjects, ( each subject will have different number of row under them depending on teh sheet)
    • MATV
    • CCTV
    • TV Lighting
    • Audio
    • Comms
    • SIM Trans
    • HAwk Eye
    • Pitch Side LED
    • Power


    i want to create a pivot table that will allow me to view the combine data from the 8 sheet according to the 9 subjects.

    i have attached the excel file that i am working on at the moment for reference

    The sample file does not appear to show what you want. You need to help us to help you by manually mocking up what you are looking for.

    Cool Re: Multi Sheet pivot table

    Basically PivotTable is to analyze data not for changing layout
    btw. update your profile about your real excel version

    here is consolidation via PivotTable

    Re: Multi Sheet pivot table

    Dear Sandy,

    that i was able to make, but on the consolidated pivot table i love the order of each section.

    i guess this is not possible to achieve.

    thank you for giving it a shot

    Re: Multi Sheet pivot table

    PivotTble works with columns and single headers row
    If you need use section (name of the sheet) you need to redefine your "tables" and add section name to each one. You can try add section name as column.

    I see your Excel version updated.... give me a few....

    Tables (Excel Tables) don't like blank rows, merged cells and some more.
    I think you should create brand new workbook with corrected tables (and some data in it)

    Re: Multi Sheet pivot table

    the blank rows can be removed that's not an issue, same with the merged cells.

    Re: Multi Sheet pivot table

    So prepare proper example, add Section column to each "table" like ZSC, etc... (after all you can filter by Section) and some numerical data because without data it doesn't make sense
    and try again

    Re: Multi Sheet pivot table

    hey Sandy,
    thank you very much for this.

    one question, in Venue C there is an Item Called Earth Rods, but it doesn't show in the sheet 2 that you made, any reason for that?

    Re: Multi Sheet pivot table

    select Section: Power - there is Earth Rod, but Section CCTV doesn't have Earth Rod so PivotTable didn't show that
    PivotTable uses PowerQuery from background (example excel file from post#14)

    edit: PowerQuery is used for consolidate tables from different sheets but to show the result PivotTable is used

    Re: Multi Sheet pivot table

    Much easier to solve if you attach the problem file.

    Marked as unsolved for now.

    Re: Multi Sheet pivot table

    Insert: PivotTable
    • Use an external data source
    • Choose connection
    • select and open: Query - Append1
    • select destination point: new worksheet or existing sheet

    the rest you know how to use (I hope )

    btw. not necessary to load Query to the sheet, if you create Append1 then Close&Load then ONLY CREATE CONNECTION
