Consolidating data

how do you select the different data ranges

RE: consolidating data

Hi Samantha

Thank you for your question. You could create a data range by highlighting a block of cells then from the Data ribbon choosing Name a Range then from the menu choosing Name a Range once more.

The dialogue box that appears will let you give your range of data a name. Alternatively if you highlight a column or row of data and include a label in your highlight choose the Create option and tell Excel when prompted where to find your labels (eg Top or Left). Excel will create ranges and name them based on the labels you highlighted.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Excel tip:

Creating custom lists

In Excel if you type in January in a cell, you can then copy this cell to replicate Febraury, MArch, April etc.

This list has come from Tools- options and Custom lists.

Therefore to save time and create your own list you can click on New (in Tools and custom list tab) and type out the lsit that you want copied quickly.

All you have to do is then type in the 1st word and you will be able to copy the rest of the list quickly.
