    How to combine 2 or more equal Excel-files in 1 Pivot Tabel

    Can anyone help me?
    I am currently working on a file that is becoming far too large to be able to work with it properly. (960,000 lines and 39 columns). To make the document workable I split it into 4 quarters (all the same columns and in the lines there are equal subcategories). These documents are easier to open. However, I would like to put a pivot table on the total make. I thought I could do this by creating 1 multi-resource PivotTable but can't figure out how to do that. I can find how to bring together a PivotTable from different worksheets with different content, but not how to reduce 4 equal files to 1 PivotTable.
    Is this even possible and how?

    Someone more experienced may be able to provide a better answer, but I'll help out as much as I can.

    I've achieved this using Power Query before.

    You can join the tables together either in Power Query as indicated by kyber, or you can join them on a common field in Power Pivot. Both of these functionalities are native to Excel 365. Power Query is called Get & Transform and found on the Data Tab. Power Pivot is available as a Tab on the Ribbon. If you do not see it, go to File-->Options-->Customized Ribbon and add it.
