Combining data from several sheets into a master sheet

Hi

I pull off monthly performance report from one of ours systems.

I need to create pivot table showing some of the KPIs in these reports.

The best way I can think of doing this is to pull each month's data into a new worksheet in my workbook and giving the tab a relevant name.

To get the pivot table to work I need all the data in 1 sheet/table.

I would like to click a button after pasting in data into a new worksheet that would automatically add the new data to the end of the "master" worksheet and update the pivot data range to include it.

Can this be done?

Hi Richard,

Thank you for the forum question.

Everything is possible in Excel (almost).

You can write a Union Query in SQL in MS Query or you can write a macro in the Visual Basic Editor.

I do not know how much knowledge you have of Excel, but you will need to code in SQL or VBA.




Kind regards

Thanks for the reply Jens.

My VBA knowledge is sporadic (I usually use Record macro then make the necessary changes, which I don't think will help here). My SQL even worse.

Regards

Richard


 

Excel tip:

Creating a range of monthly payments as text

You could use a formula to create a range of payment ie. payment amount for x% to y% rate with fixed terms and principle.

The text that would be "between Xamount and Yamount".

Here is how to do it.

1 Use the PMT function to get your monthly payments figure or whatever frequency of payments that you choose he start range.

See PMT under Excel Help

2. Nest these in the ROUND function to round decimals see ROUND under Excel Help


3. Concatenate this using "&" and concatenate " to " and concatenate "Between ".

4. Concatenate the above to PMT function for the end range

ie.

="Between "&ROUND((PMT1),decimal places)&" and "&ROUND((PMT2),decimal places)
