Consolidating Tabs In Excel

[brian4167]

I have several Tabs of information in Excel. All of the tabs are organized and formatted in the same manner. It will take too lonng to copy and paste the data into one spread sheet. Is there a formula that I could use to assist with the consolidation?

Hi, brian4167,

what about Data/Consolidation or the use of VBA to create a single worksheet with all information?

Ciao,

I was reading and thought this was the way to go, but I am not sure how to do it.

Hi, brian4167,

just follow the wizard but keep in mind that this procedure will only show the reults for any group (similar to a pivot table).

If you really need all data in one worksheet maybe the following macro can givbe you a start:

Sub CopyFromWorksheets()
' smozgur, http://vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=151 (maybe unavailable if not registered user or due to damage to Knowledgebase)
Dim wrk As Workbook  'Workbook object - Always good to work with object variables
Dim sht As Worksheet 'Object for handling worksheets in loop
Dim trg As Worksheet 'Master Worksheet
Dim rng As Range     'Range object
Dim colCount As Integer 'Column count in tables in the worksheets
 
    Set wrk = ActiveWorkbook 'Working in active workbook
 
    For Each sht In wrk.Worksheets
        If sht.Name = "Master" Then
            MsgBox "There is a worksheet called as 'Master'." & vbCrLf & _
                    "Please remove or rename this worksheet since 'Master' would be" & _
                    "the name of the result worksheet of this process.", vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "Error"
            Exit Sub
        End If
    Next sht
 
    'We don't want screen updating
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
 
    'Add new worksheet as the last worksheet
    Set trg = wrk.Worksheets.Add(After:=wrk.Worksheets(wrk.Worksheets.Count))
    'Rename the new worksheet
    trg.Name = "Master"
    'Get column headers from the first worksheet
        'Column count first
        Set sht = wrk.Worksheets(1)
        colCount = sht.Cells(1, 255).End(xlToLeft).Column
        'Now retrieve headers, no copy&paste needed
        With trg.Cells(1, 1).Resize(1, colCount)
            .Value = sht.Cells(1, 1).Resize(1, colCount).Value
            'Set font as bold
            .Font.Bold = True
        End With
 
    'We can start loop
    For Each sht In wrk.Worksheets
        'If worksheet in loop is the last one, stop execution (it is Master worksheet)
        If sht.Index = wrk.Worksheets.Count Then
            Exit For
        End If
        'Data range in worksheet - starts from second row as first rows are the header rows in all worksheets
        Set rng = sht.Range(sht.Cells(2, 1), sht.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Resize(, colCount))
        'Put data into the Master worksheet
        trg.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(rng.Rows.Count, rng.Columns.Count).Value = rng.Value
    Next sht
    'Fit the columns in Master worksheet
    trg.Columns.AutoFit
 
    'Screen updating should be activated
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
