To understand how this is done, read these two articles…Ĭopy Paste – Part 10 – How to get 24 clipboardsĬopy Paste – Part 11 – Why do we need 24 clipboards? This way you can do COPY, COPY, COPY, COPY and then one single PASTE ALL This is a brilliant but unknown feature which gives you 24 clipboards. The manual approach requires multiple operations of COPY and PASTE The logic above has to be manually implemented. This is easy and probably the best way if you have very few sheets to combine and the data is not large. This logic has to be used irrespective of which method you choose. Copy the identify of the sheet to all the added rows.Paste it below the last row in the master sheet.Copy the data from the sheet WITHOUT the header row.Copy the identity to all rows of the first block.Add a new column (ideally as the first column) to identify the original sheet context (in this case Region).Copy first block of data including the header row.With this in mind let us see various approaches available to us. This is done by adding a new column to describe the additional information. Therefore, while combining data from multiple sheets into a single master sheet, the individual sheet identity must be preserved. Now when we combine the data from all regions into a master sheet, the data got mixed up. This would typically done using Pivot Table / PowerPivot or Power View AFTER the data is combined. Please note that we are not interested in performing any summary calculation.
Now what is expected? Most people just want to combine all the data across sheets into a final sheet which contains all 40 rows. Please read these two articles for consolidating cross-tab data.Ĭrosstab data consolidation using Power Query This article does not cover cross-tab data. Usually it is month, region, location, person, product, etc.
There are multiple sheets containing tabular data.
