Thank you for posting. I really appreciate it. Great video!

It worked for me in EXEL 2010..thank you so much

Very fine tutorial, thank you // Lars

That is a really interesting trick! I has a worksheet I tried to make in the company, a to do lista, and this is what I need. But I have another question,..I was also seeing that is possible to make relationship between tables. ( for example) If I have 3 with complementary information, related by one common columm, how can I create a " consolidated" table, linked like the table shown in the video?considering that they are already linked, I dont want to make a Pivot table but just a consolidated by making use of their relation . thank you in advance

Hi I have been using this function alot BUT what if I add more data to the source sheet? the consolidate function is not updating itself. Is there other function that can update this function?? or any advice please reply.

seems like the destination is not big enough to fit the data being consolidated.

Working great - except that if I add a row, the consolidated list does not get updated. Any obvious reasons? Thanks

Hi, I tried this on Excel 2013, any addition to the row where not reflected on the i.e if I add any new item to any of the files to be consolidated the master file did not reflet the new row addition. I need to have this happening as we have different agencies updating various worksheet (adding new product) and I have the master sheet that consolidates all of them into one. Please help!

@Wasiferous There are lots of reasons why this may have happened. Just pm me your details.

Hi I have a list of patients withe their follow up, I need excel to count the diagnosis for each patient, not counting repeated diagnosis on the follow up, just new diagnosis for each patient is that possible????

What if I have one spreadsheet with phone numbers and names of employees and another spreadsheet with socials, hire dates, and employee numbers. One list has more or less employees since some have left. Is there a way I can combine the names, phone numbers, hire dates, and socials into one sheet so I don't have to go back and forth? My problem is that the employee names vary, so if I try to combine everything, it doesn't line up. There are thousands of names, so trying to line everything up has proven difficult. Is there a way?

if the data in a sheet is left blank, the link will not be created in the consolidation sheet. I want to set up default value for all the data as zero in each sheet. Do I have to use VBA to realize it or is there any shorter way? Thank you.

one question, I have a larger ammount of data, if I filter the info I want to pull to the other sheet, excel exports the information on the middle, I cannot choose the filtered items, instead It takes those items and the ones in the middle...what I am doing rong? Is that possible to do??

This tutorial was great, but I got confused because you never instructed us to on a blank worksheet. If you don't start on a blank worksheet it will cause an error that says you can't consolidate the sheets.

Sir I m facing problem in this I have 2 sheets Sheet1= List of all companies Name (Around 800) Sheet 2= Here we do daily data entry of how many goods sold to each client and how much Now I want to make a Dynamic Pivot table where is takes all client names from sheet one and then matches the ones from sheet 2 and get me a Customer Sales report, now I want it to be also Dynamically updated.... can you help me in this please

Haha it was actually purely coincidental but it is kind of funny.

i TRIED THIS FORMULA WAS GOOD.. CHANGES REFLECTED WHEN ANY CHANGES WERE MADE.. BUT LITTLE DISAPPOINTED.. I COULD NOT SEE THE CHANGES HAPPENING IF ANY NEW PARTS WERE ADDED.. i MADE EXTRA SELECTION AS SHOWN BY YOU... BUT ANY NEW ENTRY DID NOT ADD UP TO THE CONSOLIDATED SHEET... PLEASE HELP !!!!

Same exact problem here! It does not add new parts... I'm using excel 2007

misleading title.. change it to sheets instead of files

no, it's about merging data from FILES. don't you see files' names at the top: consolidate_part1.xslx, consolidate_part2.xslx?
