How to consolidate files

steps on consolidation

RE: how to consolidate files

Hi Joanne,

The following steps should cover it
1. Start on a new sheet - possibly in a new book and go to the data tab and click on consoldate to get a dialogue box up.
2. Select your 1st data range with your mouse having opened up the necessary file. Click on add.
3. Repeat as often as necessary to select all the ranges you need to consolidate.
ick the boxes at the bottom of the dialague box as necessary about titles and linking to source data
4. Click OK and you're done.

Hope this helps
