    Combining poorly formatted sheets

    Hello everyone!

    I have tried to convince my colleagues to use a version of the following with a date column rather than date headers but they found this confusing...

    Now I am tasked with combining the two rosters that are created each month.

    As the spreadsheet will be shared through Office365, my hope is to automate a combined roster so it is as up to date as the others.

    I'm thinking I could potentially use named ranges or some kind of lookup to do this, but before I spend many hours experimenting I figure I should reach out and see if anyone has a suggestion for me.

    I think I'll probably have to manually sort it out but fingers crossed there's another solution!

    You can try to automate this through PowerQuery.

    Will need some tweaking to suit your desired output, but the following would work with the 1 - June 2022 table:

    If you're not familiar with PowerQuery, instructions on how to use this code here: https://excel.solutions/2017/11/powe...te-code-video/

    Rather than doing this per table/file - you can configure PowerQuery to import all workbooks in a particular folder location and run them all simultaneously. But that's a further step down the line
