Consolidating two lists of data into one pivot table

RE: consolidating two lists of data into one pivot table

Hi Peter

Thanks for getting in touch. You have a couple of options here.

The first and most obvious is that you can paste the contents of the two lists together, but I'm assuming there's a reason you don't want to go this route.

Secondly you can leverage the legacy PivotTable wizard. You can only access this through a keyboard shortcut. Press in order: ALT D P. Choose the option for Multiple Consolidation Ranges. If you're not sure at the moment, press Create a Single Page Field for me. Choose your ranges and press Add. Repeat this stage until you have added all the ranges you wish to consolidate. On the next and final page you will be asked where you want to place the PivotTable, and then you're done.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Convert Text to Columns in Excel 2010

If you have a cell in your Excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of text and you want to divide it into separate columns, this can only be done if there is a logical character which separates the text, for example, a comma.

Select the cells you would like to convert. On the Data tab, click Text to Columns. Choose the format of your current data.

Select Delimited if the text contains a logical character otherwise select Fixed Width if there are a certain number of spaces between each field.

Click Next when a preview of the data appears. Then select the type of character that separates the various fields. If the character is not listed, select Other and enter the character.

Click Next again and then choose the format for each of the columns. Select the column heading in the Data preview and then select a data type from the Column data format options.

Click Finish and the text will appear in several columns.
