pivot tables
 

How do I set up a pivot table across multiple pages of
data? My lines of data total over 70000 and therefore are
contained on multiple worksheets. I was able to get the
pivot table set up to pull in both worksheets but wasn't
able to change the columns or veiw the detail.

Thanks.

When you go to data-pivot table
you get choices one of which is
"Multiple Consolidation ranges"

Use this choice and you will be able to add multiple ranges into your pivot
table

You can create a Pivot Table from multiple consolidation ranges, but you
won't get the same pivot table layout that you'd get from a single
range. There's an example he

If possible, store your data in a database, perhaps using MS Access, and
you'll have more flexibility in creating the pivot table.
