Summarising Data from 3 Sheets


Posted by Helen on June 12, 2001 3:51 AM

This has been driving me crazy for almost a week now!

I have 3 sheets that are all identically laid out but with different data. I want to create another sheet with the same layout that pulls all the data into one sheet.

That part I can do but I also want more rows to be added to the 3 original sheets and for the summary sheet to be able to reflect this.

I have a workaround at the moment where I have copied 1000+ rows in each of the 3 sheets and pasted links to these in the summary sheet. This includes all the empty rows and is untidy!

Does anyone know of any way that I can make the summary sheet update when data is added to the 3 original sheets?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

why not paste special sheets into summary with skipblanks:=true ?

How do you mean?

Got it! Ignore the last message!

I think that works! Seems really easy and obvious now!

OK, so that did initially seem to work but it will not show all the data for some reason? Also, that is still a bit messy. Is there no way to just show the data, not the extra, unused rows and update it as and when it changes?
