    Power Query: Consolidating data from different worksheets

    Hi,
    I have inherited an Excel spreadsheet and the data needs normalised.
    See attached mock-up where data is provided for 3 months but the actual spreadsheet has data dating back for the past 5 years.
    I would like to transpose the data into a table as I prefer to work with pivot tables for reporting purposes.
    If someone could help me it would be brilliant as it would save me lots of time.

    Thanks

    Re: Grid to table

    You can use Power Query for this:

    This query returns normalised data, from your grids:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    You can then pivot as required.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...

    Re: Grid to table

    Olly,
    I just want to say, thank you very much for your excellent solution and for showing me the potential of using Power Query for consolidating data.
    There is much to learn with how you done it and even with the applied steps I am still trying to take it all in. Thanks also for the instructional video on your site.

    On the subject of Power Query, can it consolidate data, from different worksheets (26), but with the same data structure? The range is C14:K38 (every other row is blank which I don't need) but I also need data from cells F7, J6, J10 and E46. Do you have any pointers on how I can do this - I will have a go at it - and if I need help I will post a new thread.

    Thanks again for your help, really impressive stuff

    Yes, you can combine data from multiple sheets. Post another thread, with another sample workbook including required output, and we'll take a look.

    Don't forget to mark this thread as SOLVED. Thanks.

    Re: Grid to table

    Hi AliGW,
    I think there is a misunderstanding here.
    This thread covers a different Power Query scenario, which Olly solved for me.
    In this same thread I asked was it possible to use Power Query to solve a different scenario and Olly thought, without having sight of the data structure, it might be doable.
    To that end, I marked the thread as solved and posted a new thread yesterday, which you now refer to as duplicate?
    Could you unlock my thread from yesterday as they are completely different scenarios.

    OK - you confused the issue yourself! I will explain why in your other thread.
