Pivot Table Excel Data Manipulation

Reverse Pivot Tables,
I have numerous sheets in a workbook of data in a table. I need to consolidate one column of the table from each sheet into a new table. The data in the table will essentially be going from a table into 3 columns of data on the left of a new table. How would I do this? It is essentially the reverse of forming a pivot table?
Thanks

RE: Pivot Table Excel Data Manipulation

Hi Tashi, thanks for your query. There's no such feature as a Reverse Pivot Table and without seeing your data it's a little difficult to advise you on which way to go with this. It sounds like you have various options open to you such as using the Consolidate tool, MS Query or one of the free add-ins on the net. There is a lengthy discussion of such tools here which should point you in the right direction.

Hope this helps,

Excel tip:

Quickly insert a function

In Excel 97 and 2000 it was known as the Paste Function dialog box, these days it's known as the Insert Function dialog box. Regardless, one has to choose Insert|Function. or the fx button to open it up. There is, however, a non-mousey way to get hold of the Insert Function dialog box: press Shift+F3 in a blank cell to open the Insert Function dialog.

Press Shift+F3 after a function name and open bracket to open the Function Arguments dialog. For example, type =VLOOKUP( into a cell and press Shift+F3 to obtain a detailed description of VLOOKUP's arguments.
