Pivot table retrieving data from several worksheets
Hi guys,
I have data for several countries in one workbook. Every country has its own worksheet, and every worksheet has exactly the same structure. I've prepared an additionnal "summary" worksheet, but I would need to retrieve 3 different sort of data (quantity by task, amounts by task, person ID No executing the task). The summary would be (ideally) organized in the following matrix: in lines we have countries, in columns we have the days (F. ex. 01/Dec/04 - 31/Dec/04). For the time being, I created 3 different "summary" matrices, but I'm asking myself if pivot tables would not be a better solution. However, I've never done pivot tables from multiple worksheets. Is it possible? Thanks for your help! Wishing you a great end of the year, Gizmo |

it is possible. Using the last option on the first dialog for pivot tables ('Multiple consolidation ranges') "Gizmo" wrote: Hi guys, I have data for several countries in one workbook.

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 http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot08.html If possible, store your data in a database, perhaps using MS Access, and you'll have more flexibility in creating the pivot table.
