    Display List Of Open Items

    Hello everyone,

    I want to create a workbook that will track "Open" items that are past the due date from project events. I attached a sample workbook to better explain my intentions. There are 4 worksheets. 3 of the worksheets are for different events and 1 worksheet (Summary) to display all open items (Event Name, Task, Status, Date, Responsible Person, and Manager) from all three events. Not all the open items need to be listed, only the ones that are currently past due.

    I'm hoping to have an easy way to do this. I'm not sure if I have to use a macro or not. If so, one important factor is that I will be adding new Event worksheets every week and I will need the macro to search them as well.

    I hope my explanation made sense. Please take a look at my sample for clarification.

    Thank you in advance to anyone willing to take a look at this for me.

    - Justin

    Hi Justin,

    There is an old tool called the Pivot Table Wizard that "consolidates" regions into a single pivot table. See the attached where I've tried to see if it would solve your problem.

    See how to add this wizard to your QAT at:

    Hope this helps.

    Using the Consolidation Wizard you add the sources of the data.
    See an example of what I mean at

    Hi Marvin,

    How do I change the Number Format. For example I want the Date to be a Date and Names to be Text. It seems to be as if you can only set one type of format.

    Re: Display List Of Open Items

    I'm sure there's a better way to do it but here's something that I put together based on something I already had.

    Delete the blank summary tab you have, insert in Column A on each tab a column for "Event", then run this and delete anything that's already closed which should sort to the top and you'll be left with a list sorted by "Event" then by "Due Date".

    One problem that I came across that maybe someone else can help with is how to get the range to be a dynamic selection so in the event that you go passed a certain number of lines it will still pick it up. I'm sure there's also a way to get it to delete anything that has data in the date closed column for you but this is hopefully a start that get's you moving in the right direction.

    Unfortunately the code doesn't quite do the trick but I appreciate you sharing. Hopefully someone will come along with a different approach.

    Hello everyone, just wondering if anyone with some VBA expertise had a chance to look at this problem for me? I would greatly appreciate any help I can get.

    Okay here is what I have so far:

    It works as far as coping the data is concerned but I need the macro to check all the worksheets in the workbook, not just the one that is defined. New workbooks will be created all the time.
