converging tabs
 

I have one column of numbers on a spreadsheet with about 10 different
tabs. I would like all of the columns to sit next to eachother on one
tab.

Thanks for your help!

Assuming data is all within say A1:A10 in each of the 10 source sheets

Enter the 10 source sheetnames into B1:K1
(Sheetname entry order is immaterial, your design/placement choice)

Then put in B2:
=OFFSET(INDIRECT("'"&B$1&"'!A1"),INT((ROW(A1)-1)/10)+MOD(ROW(A1)-1,10),)
Copy B2 to K2, fill down to K11 to populate the table

The above will return the required results, ie extract what's within A1:A10
from each source sheet and place it under the sheetname col header

Ensure that the sheetnames entered into B1:K1 match exactly (except for
case) with what's on the tabs, otherwise we'd get #REF!. Watch out for
inconsistencies: typos, extra white spaces, etc.

Empty source cells if any, will be returned as zeros.
For a neater look, we can suppress the display of extraneous zeros in the
sheet via clicking: Tools Options View tab Uncheck "Zero values" OK

Adapt to suit: change the "10" within the INT(..) and MOD(..) to a number
corresponding to the number of cells within the source range, then copy the
formula down accordingly by that number of rows ..

Oops, correction to the formula ..

.. in B2:
=OFFSET(INDIRECT("'"&B$1&"'!A1"),INT((ROW(A1)-1)/10)+MOD(ROW(A1)-1,10),)

Put in B2:
=OFFSET(INDIRECT("'"&B$1&"'!A1"),MOD(ROW(A1)-1,10),)

(the INT part wasn't necessary here)
