RE: Consolidating Data

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for the question

You can summarise data from different worksheets by using the Data consolidation feature.

To consolidate data, choose Data, Consolidate to open the Consolidate dialog box. What you do is highlight a cell you want with data in it then in the dialog box click "Add" that traps the cell, it defaults ot the "Sum" option (change it if you want a different function). Once you have added all the cells click OK. This will sum all the cells you have highlighted.

Hope that helps

Tracy

Excel tip:

The dual nature of toolbar buttons

Many toolbar buttons are dual purpose, though the two purposes are often linked in some way. For example, Align Left aligns a cell's contents to the left of the cell. However, hold down Shift and press the Align Left button: Excel aligns the cell contents to the right.
You may respond: So what? Well, you can reduce the number of buttons on your toolbar to make your screen less cluttered and allow more room for, perhaps, some of your own commands. After all, what's the point of an Align Right button when Shift+Align Left does the same thing?
