Summarize Multi Worksheet Data
I need a way to create a summary page that queries data across mutiple tabs.
Each tab contains specific user data. I want the summary page to list an overview of each user. I've been doing this via a Pivot Table but is there a way that doesn't require me to compile all the data together in one worksheet to query? |
Summarize Multi Worksheet Data
In my opionion you are doing it the right way by compiling all of the data in
one worksheet and then extracting the data out as a pivot table. In my experience this is the mose effective way as it is easy to add more user data by just exteneding the data range of the pivot table. Adding new users is handled for you and you can easily modify or add output reports without having to muck with your source data by adding more sheets and such. What is the issue that you are having with trying to keep all of the data on one worksheet? -- HTH...

I'm dealing with thousands of entries so it seems like more work to copy and
paste the contents of each tab into a "Master" worksheet. Also, the pivot table doesn't allow the summarized data to be sorted.

Perhaps this will help. Check out Ron's web site. He has some excelent VBA
scripts for copyting data to a summary sheet http://www.rondebruin.nl/summary.htm Also pivot tables can be sorted. Right click on the data member you would like to sort by and click Field Setting - Advanced. You can then set up your sorting criteria. -- HTH...
