consolidating multiple pages

**richjonas1976** · 03-21-2017, 04:18 PM

Hello all,

I have a spreadsheet which highlights the efficiency of a production line. I have 1 sheet for the week and the fields would be day, shift, product code, line, std units per min, act upm. I wabt to set up this as a weekly sheet and then have a sheet which consolidates all this data as 1 for a monthly consolidated sheet. Any help on how I would do this would be greatly appreciated. I have looked at running a pivot table over multiple sheets but its above my knowledge level.

Thank you

Hi

are the sheets identical? If so, you could probably work with the formula to sum the same cell in successive sheets eg

=SUM(Sheet1:Sheet4!A2)

however, you could face a problem with weeks and months not coinciding. To get an accurate monthly total you will need to include parts of weeks. How to do this will depend on how you sheets are organised. If you could upload a copy (with confidential data removed) we can take a look.

Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? Please don't attach a picture of one (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).

1. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!

4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Thanks for the replies, I've attached what the sheet looks like with data on. Each sheet would be identical to this one and then I would have a sheet for the end of the month to consolidate the exact data shown on the individual sheets for the whole month. I hope this makes sense.

Cheers
