Hello, I am trying to create a pivot table using data from multiple tabs but am having some issues. If anyone could assist it would be greatly appreciated. Here is the information:

I have multiple worksheets (on different days) with the same headers. For example, let's say each worksheet has a NAME column (additional names could be added on different dates), number of dogs column, number of cats column, and number of fish column.

I would like a pivot table [TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]number of dogs[/TD]
[TD]number of dogs[/TD]
[TD]number of cats[/TD]
[TD]number of cats[/TD]
[TD]number of fish[/TD]
[TD]number of fish[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
[TD]2017 (name of the worksheet)[/TD]
[TD]2016 (name of worksheet)[/TD]
[TD]2017 (name of the worksheet)[/TD]
[TD] 2016 (name of worksheet)[/TD]
[TD]2017 (name of the worksheet)[/TD]
[TD]2016 (name of worksheet)[/TD]

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
If I’m undstanding this, you want to add all of your data from multiple spreadsheets into one combined pivot table. If so, should be doable.

Select data from first spreadsheet and insert a pivot table. When the box pops up to create the table, check the option at the bottom for “Add this data to the Data Model.” This will create a pivot table for this data. Name that new sheet something like “do not delete 1.”

Repeat these same steps for every spreadsheet of data you want to add in, but name them all something different. On the last one, the pivot table fields box on the right has an Active and All option. Select All to access all the different pivot tables you just built. From there, you should be able to start dropping in data.
