Combining information from multiple tabs
I hope this is the right board, so here goes...
Hi all, I know this has been covered many times over, but I just can't seem to figure it out. I have an excel file that contains 93 tabs, all with the same type of information, and I need to take the information from each tab and combine it so that it has all the information from all 93 tabs in one.....without having to copy and paste each tab, can someone please help me with step by step instructions as to how to accomplish this. I have looked at the posts where there are macros and such, but I'm afraid that goes way over my head. I am working on a project with a deadline of Friday and this information would be EXTREMELY appreciated. Please help before I tear what little hair I have left. Thanks in advance, Mike |

Combining information from multiple tabs
=sum(Tab1:Tab93!c6) c6 being the cells of all 93 tabs being summed.
You can then copy this formula throughout the page. I hope thats clear. For cell wrote: I hope this is the right board, so here goes...

Combining information from multiple tabs
Thanks so much for the quick reply!
Can you please elaborate on the "c6" cell. I just want to make sure that I have it right...each of the 93 tabs have different amount of information, so would this then copy the information from each and paste in the new worksheet?. If so, do I have to set a range and how? Sorry...I actually signed up for an excel course at a local college so that I can better understand.

Combining information from multiple tabs
It is not copying and pasting, rather it is a formula summing those
cells. So if any of those cells change, your summary changes as well. Rather than typing the formula, you can manually do it. It is really much easier to do than to try and explain. But I will try. Lets say you have tabs 1 through 93. And you are adding a summary page. On the summary page, whichever cell you want your first sum, type =sum( and then hold down your shift key, and on the bottom click on tab 1 and then tab 93. (You should then see all 93 tabs highlighted) then close your parenthesis ")" and enter. This will then have summed all the cells on those 93 tabs. wrote: Thanks so much for the quick reply!

Combining information from multiple tabs
Bob,
I'm trying but when I hit enter, and error message comes up. It's a box that says formula contains errors. Maybe this will help: each tab contains a name of a customer on one cell, the next is address, the next is the city, etc. Hope this helps you in helping me! BobS9895 wrote: Wow - sorry about that.

Combining information from multiple tabs
I'm afraid I've been leading you down the wrong path. All along when
you said "combine" I thought you meant "sum". I thought we were talking numbers, not labels. Without seeing the worksheet and the layout, it would be difficult for me to help you. However, even with labels, you can use a simple formula to copy from different tabs. So once you got your initial format and formulas determined, you could copy those formulas for all. Your best bet may be to post new again, and explain in more detail the information you have and what you want it to do. Maybe someone out there can help you better than I can.

I hate to impose, but can I just email it to you so that you can see what I mean? Mike BobS9895 wrote: I'm afraid I've been leading you down the wrong path.
