Can't consolidate non-data (ie text) cells from worksheets
I have got a number of worksheets containing lists of names/ Email addresses
ie. non-data (ie text) values . I want to consolidate these non-data (ie text) values from cells in different worksheets - but am failing. I have formatted the separate worksheets into lists, and then used the 'consolidate' function, but of course this requires a 'summary function' setting ('SUM', 'COUNT') - I can't see how to do this when it is a non-numerical value. Any help? |

I think what you need is "concatinate" not "consolidate"
for example if you wanted to make one textr file from wjhat is in A1. A2 and A# =concatinate(A1:A3) would work or in a formula use "&" instead of "+" =A1&A2&A3 if you want a space between the cells =A1&" "&A2&" "&A3 "Tim80" wrote: I have got a number of worksheets containing lists of names/ Email addresses ie. non-data (ie text) values .

Can't consolidate non-data (ie text) cells from worksheets
Thanks for your swift reponse - but I think that would combine text data in
cells. I just want to bring a number of worksheets containing rows and columns into one worksheet (for the purpose of formatting, checking for duplicate entries, etc). Preferrably, I would also like to have an 'update' function, so that when I update one of the sheets it simultaneously updates the consolidated sheet too - do you see what I mean? I think the consolidate function is needed for that. However, it won't allow me to do this. Any ideas?
