Display data from Multiple Tabs on one.

[Andrew5150]

This is not a consolidation of summarization issue.

I have a large spreadsheet with Mutiple identical formatted tabs for locations, each with various bits of information and sub information. What my boss would like is to take certain high priority sections from each tab and put one.

What he would like is the "sales" section for example for every tab on one sheet, one under the other.

This would work fine using copy and Paste Link OK, but they want each section names by the TAB name as this can change due to date and if one is deleted or added, they master sheet to automatically update as well.

Trying to avoid VBA solution as they may have to fix it themselves in the future.

Without VBA I think PQ (Power Query) is your only option.
Make a query to grab all the sheets in the workbook, whitelist your master tab, then summarise them while selecting the columns you want. It's pretty easy to learn PQ through the GUI. You don't ned to code anything for these trivial tasks.

Then you can reference the aggregate data as you wish.

You need excel 2013 onwards to use it though.
