Data Consolidate Formula in excel (MS Excel)

Data Consolidate Formula in excel

The "Consolidate" formula in Excel allows you to combine data from multiple ranges into one consolidated range. This can be useful when you have data in separate sheets or separate workbooks that you want to merge into a single summary. To use the Consolidate formula in Excel, follow these steps:

1. Select the cell in the target sheet where you want the consolidated data to appear.
2. Go to the "Data" tab on the ribbon and select "Consolidate" from the "Data Tools" group.
3. In the "Consolidate" dialog box, select the type of consolidation you want, such as "sum", "average", "count", etc.
4. In the "Reference" section, click the "Add" button to specify the source ranges you want to consolidate. Repeat this step for each source range you want to include.
5. Click OK to apply the consolidation and see the result in the target cell.

Note that the source ranges must have the same structure, i.e. have the same number of rows and columns, and have the same headings.
