    Question Consolidating data from multiple tabs and spreadsheets from multiple users

    Hi all!

    New to this forum and a pretty novice excel user. I actually work in HR but trying to increase the usage of data analytics in my company and so I have A LOT to learn! Right now, our HR team is trying to track the daily questions/issues they encounter and have to spend time on that really should be directed to other departments (thus limiting the time to do their actual job). My goal is to have a summary sheet that auto populates (Totals tab) that is hidden from the person filling out the form, but so that at the end of the week I can get the summary sheets from each person and then compile those into a Master Tracker to show a summary (that contains other system related items) of the time spent on the various questions or issues that an HRBP would be working on through out the course of a week, month, etc.

    Please let me know if this does not make sense or if there are questions. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in automating the compiling of this data as it is very very time consuming right now!

    Hello mruss_14 and Welcome to Excel Forum.
    As this hasn't drawn a response I'll at least say something.
    I am guessing that you want to do this using VBA because you want to erase the values in the daily sheets so that you can start fresh each week.
    I would suggest that isn't an easy way to go about this.
    Excel is set up for row over row data where each record might have a date, an attribute (such as Benefit questions), a value (such as 0.5) and a comment (such as Medical)
    From that type set up the data could be analyzed using a pivot table.
    If you expect a very large number of records each week, you might also be able to put each attribute on its own sheet and append them using Get & Transform, and possibly, since you are using the 365 version of Excel, load it to a data model (I believe a data model will hold about 99M records).
    I'll wait to see if you have any interest before making further comments.
    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Thank you for responding -- I did end up using get & transform and created query connections to auto populate the daily tables. I appreciate your advice!
