    Question Merging Multiple Tables Into One Summary

    Pipeline tracking.xlsx

    I have multiple tables all with the exact same header in multiple worksheets. Each worksheet is a region, pretty much, and what they would like is a summary page that simply takes anything from the region tables and places them in one summary table. I was trying to do it using combined range pivot tables but I don't want it to perform any calculations on the date, just combine them.

    Hi,
    You probably need a macro to do this but upload the workbook so that we can see the request in context.

    Re: Merging Multiple Tables Into One Summary

    I thought that it might but I didn't know if there was some way I hadn't learned of through formulas to get it to work right. I attached the file to the original post. It's a pretty barren sheet at the moment since it has not been populated as of yet but it's pretty basic.

    Hi,

    See the attached. Click the blue button. Every time the macro is run the summary is cleared and re-built hence you can freely delete Summary rows 3 onwards.

    Thank you! I'll poke around the macro and hopefully learn more of the VB so I can hopefully contribute one day! I'm sad that so simple a problem needs such a workaround.

    Re: Merging Multiple Tables Into One Summary

    Hi,

    You can create a pivot table from multiple ranges on separate sheet if you prefer.
    Debrah Dalgleish has put up a YouTube video which you can reach from her web site here: http://blog.contextures.com/archives...ltiple-sheets/

    I wouldn't call it a work around and in general you should always use standard Excel functionality in preference to VBA, but in this case I personally find the short macro far easier and much more flexible. For instance you won't need to add new ranges each time you add a new sheet, and it's just less hassle than building the pivot table ranges, particularly of you have many sheets and tables.

    Regards

    I did try it with pivot tables to start with, but unless there is a way to NOT perform calculations (sum, count, ect) on the information the table is pulling I can't see how it'll work that way.

    Hi,

    No, your data is not really what Pivot tables are designed for. They're mainly for summarising and analysing data.

    I was merely confirming the point that pivot tables can be constructed from ranges on multiple sheets, not that Pivot Tables are the way to go in this case. The macro is as I say far simpler and more future proof.

    Re: Merging Multiple Tables Into One Summary

    Hi.

    I have the same problem. I need to combine all tables in 1 summary sheet within the same worksheet. But on the summary sheet, there's an existing table and I just want to put the summary table beneath.

    Can someone help me please.

    Thanks a lot for any help.
