I am still having trouble copying a Pivot Table from one workbook to another
and having it to be relevant to the workbook I am copying it to. I have
also tried using the Macros function by copying the steps in making the Pivot
Tables for each day of the week that I am trying to extract info from, but as
soon as I tried running the Macros on the other workbook, it gave me a
message error window that said something about debugging.
I have a project in which I have alot of time sheet workbooks per employee
that I need to extract the the amount of time each employee spends on a
particular "task".
It is taking me forever to do them individually. Does anyone have any ideas
as to how I would do this?

Hi

Rather than copying the Pivot table to each individual workbook, could
you copy the data from each workbook to a single workbook.
Obviously, only copy the header row for the first one, then the data
from each subsequent one below.
Perform the Pivot on this one consolidated set of data.

How would I do this? Each workbook contains 7 worksheets (one for each day
of the week) and there are 43 workbooks (one for each employee). I would
love to do as you directed because it would save me tons of time; but,
unfortunately, I have no idea how to go about it. Would you be kind enough
to take me through the steps? I would really appreciate it.

Regards,

Sue

Hi Sue

I am desperately trying to finish some work which has to be with a
client tomorrow morning, so I don't have too much time right now.
However, there is some useful code to do this type of thing on Ron de
Bruin's site
http://www.rondebruin.nl/copy3.htm

Obviously on the single sheet in the new workbook, there would need to
be 2 extra columns, one to identify the Employee whose data was being
copied, and one to identify the weekday of the sheet that was being
copied, so that very line contains an employee name and a day.

The Pivot table based upon this new consolidated data, should then allow
you to achieve what you want.

If you get stuck, post back and I am sure somebody will help. I won't
get a chance before Tuesday.
