    Dear Ashish, I was searching the youtube for any possible solutions to combine multiple worksheets which contains same number of columns and infinite rows. In one of the videos, I could see that I need to have an unique cell for me to combine. Unfortunately I could not create an unique cell, but was on the look out, then your video was in hand. That was wonderful Ashish. I could quickly learn the MS SQL Query method and worked well for me. Thank you and I appreciate your efforts in educating.

  • @excelenthusiasts

    @excelenthusiasts

    7 жыл бұрын

    You are welcome. When you create a Table, excel assign it a name automatically. Converting the range to a Table is necessary because this takes care of auto expansion. Table names cannot be used in MS Query and that is why we assigned a name called Dummy. Hope this clarifies.

    Hi, Thank you for your reply. All my data source sheets have numbers, but still not working. In the same time I have noticed something strange, actually when I double click on the pivot tab total for the data to get the details, in the column that has the numbers...the format of the numbers is coming as Standard/ General format and even if I change it to numbers it's not being actually converted, and when I select multiple cells excel is just counting the number of items and doesn't sum the values. So I guess there is a formatting issue here. but I'm sure my numbers in the data source are stored as numbers. How can I share my workbook privately with you? Thanks

Using days in group will show the date range as 1/1/1990 to 8/1/1990 but i want to show Weeknumber. Need to do that in Pivot only else i could have done adding 1 extra column in data and putting there the weennum formula but if i have the huge data spanning across differnt sheets, adding a column is big pain and time consuming as well.

    Hi Anshish, Thanks for this video. It will really be great if this works for my data. I followed all the steps till the SQL statements. I get the message that "The number of columns in the two selected tables or queries of a union query do not match". I have 91 columns and between 200 and 5000 rows in each table (5 of them) and they are all created from the same shell. I have even copied and re-pasted the column names from the first table to all the others and manually checked them but I still get the same error. Are my columns too much or what could be the problem?

    You are welcome. I cannot say. If you are absolutely sure that the number of columns in both datasets is the same, then it looks like there is a "number of columns" limitation. The best approach would be to use Data > Get & Transform to aggregate data from multiple worksheets into a single one.

    Hi. This technique will work only for upto 65,000 rows of data per worksheet. You may split the rows into 2 worksheets and then it will work fine. An even better option is to use the BI tools of Excel, namely PowerPivot and Data > Get & Transform.

I tried to create my pivot table using more than 5 spreadsheets, but after I clicked "ok" in the final step of returning data to excel, it said "ODBC error" then "problems obtaining data" , any idea what's going on? Is there any limit of the number of spreadsheet we can use at one time?

    Wow.. I can make a Pivot Table out of data now. Thank you for making this video. Initially, I had faced problem creating PivotTable because one of my worksheet name is "DB2", which is a cell number. First, table name was not appearing on available tables. So, I had to select "System Table" from Query Wizard option and picked "DB2$" as table name. And, during union I had to double quote the table name else it gives syntax error.

From similar comments posted by other users in the Comments of KZread and my webpage, I understand that this problem happens when one "first converts to a table and then assigns a name". It should actually be to "first assign a name and then convert to a table". I cannot think of any other reason why this is happening.

    +Saul Espinoza Hi. If a workbook has even one range converted to a Table, then it cannot be shared. To enable sharing, you will have to remove the Table functionality but if you do so, you will lose the functionality of "Pivot Table incorporating new rows of data that will be added to the Source dataset". So if you do not want that functionality, then you need not convert into a Table at all.

    Hi Ashish, by far the best video on this topic - hands down!!! May I bounce off a idea/question to you? I have 4 files with the same table structure of data. I (1.) created an named range and then (2.) a table of the name range. Using your method, I "queried" the 4 files/4 tables on 4 sheets in a new workbook in order to combine the 4 sheets on one (new) sheet. I now have the issue that I have 4 tables (2.) created before I created 4 named ranges (1.). (On creating the MS Query link the resulting table is MS table name Table_Query_from_Excel_Files) When I now combine the 4 tables into 1, MS Query cannot find tables in the this workbook. Is there something to the order of executing Step 1. and 2. in this order? I went and took the 4 system tables pointing at each sheet (paying attention to the '$' at the end of each system named element) Could I have gone straight from 4 files to one table w/o the intermittent step of 4 tables in one workbook? Thanks a lot in advance. Cheers Dirk

    Thank you Sir. Another query that I had was, in this case, you can filter data "worksheet wise"(that is jan, feb, march) in pivot chart because you have a date column. If suppose you had to create the same table but instead of the worksheets split month wise, It would be lets say store wise( for eg - Store A, Store B, Store C). How can you filter a pivot table or pivot chart then? The only thing I can think of is to have a separate column in all the worksheets with the name of the store repeated in each row. Any alternative?
