To give a clear answer we would need a bit more detail of the data layout
Give us a simplified version of what the data looks like
Your 'subject' talks about different workBOOKS but the text of the message
says different workSHEETS. What is the actual case?
Do all worksheets have the same layout?
What version of Excel?


best wishes

Hi,
I'm totally new to excel and i need to analyse the changes in a funding
position across several years in a seperate excel sheet.

As in, submissions are made year on year showing the amount of revenue
spent
on several different services. I need to be able to compare how those have
moved over the last 5 years in a single spreadsheet.

I appreciate any help.
Thanks
