How to Create a Summary Table from Multiple Worksheets in Excel: 3 Useful Ways

In this sample dataset there is sales data for a few products and the vendors that sold them in the months of March, April, May, and June.

To convert this data to a table,

In the Excel Ribbon, select Insert >> Table.
A dialog box will appear. Make sure ‘My table has headers’ is checked, then click OK.

The data is then transformed into a table.

We will be using the following sheets to create the summary table from multiple worksheets.

Steps:

=Excel.CurrentWorkbook()

All of the workbook’s tables will be returned by the formula.

To eliminate duplicates remove the second column using the Remove Other Columns command from the context menu by right-clicking on the header of the first column.

The Keep Top Rows window will appear. Here four is entered since we will be working with the first four tables in this workbook.

Click on the marked icon of the following image, uncheck Use original column name as prefix and click OK.

The query might include some extraneous formatting, such as the date and time. To remove this, right click when selecting the Date column and then choose Change Type >> Date.

If your data contains any blanks, select the columns that contain blanks and then Right-Click >> Fill. Select Down or Up as needed.

Press CTRL+A and then go to Transform >> Detect Data Type. Although it’s not always essential, using this command is a good habit to get into when using the Power Query Editor.

The Import Data dialog box will appear. Select PivotTable Report, the sheet where you want the Pivot Table to be opened, and click OK.

The Pivot Table will appear on a new worksheet as we selected a New Worksheet in this instance. To view the worksheets’ compiled data, drag the Date range to the Rows Field, the Sales Price to the Values Field, and the Seller to the Columns Field.

You will see monthly and overall reports of the sales from March to June. You can also see seller-based sales records in your Pivot Table.

Click on the Plus button next to the month name to learn more details about sales in that particular month.

You can create a Summary Table from Multiple Worksheets in Excel by using the Power Query Editor and Pivot Table.

Steps:

=SUM(June:March!F5:F11)

The formula uses the SUM function and sheet references to return the total Sales over the period March to June.

The data shows how many sales of particular items have been made by the salesman over the months January to April.

Steps:

Create a new sheet and select any cell where you want your combined data to start. Here a sheet named summary has been created.
Select Data >> Consolidate from the Data Tools group, and a Consolidate window will appear.

Put the cursor in the Reference section and select the sheet where you put the data (in this case it’s Item 1).
Select the range (B4:F11) which will be used to create the summary.
Click Add.

Repeat to add the other ranges from Item 2 and Item 3.Check the options in the ‘Use labels in’ section.
Click OK.

In the new sheet the total sales quantity summary of each salesman for those items by month will be listed.

The sales quantity by each item and month is hidden by these Plus icons. To see Falcone’s sales summary just click the Plus Icon beside his name.
