Answer:
• Open the worksheets you want to consolidate.
• Ensure the data in each spreadsheet is listed in a consistent format. Make sure the labels on each
spreadsheet are listed in a consistent format. For example, if you have the date listed in the top row,
and the product listed in the left column, make sure this is the same format for each spreadsheet.
Make sure the rows and columns are in the same location for each spreadsheet. Delete any blank
rows or columns in the spreadsheets.

consolidate sheets within the same file, click the arrow icon to the right of the bar below

within the same file, click and drag to highlight data and labels you want to consolidate. This will

references column (For example: "Q1SalesSheet!$A$2:$F$5").
