Combining Multiple Excel Workbooks to one Excel Workbook

Combining Multiple Excel Workbooks to one Excel Workbook

Combining Multiple Excel Workbooks to one Excel Workbook

(OP)
Hi all,

Can anyone help with an EXCEL isuue? I need to combine identical multiple EXCEL workbooks and total all cells in their worksheets to have only one EXCEL workbook.  

Example:  Multiple divisions are entering data into seperate initial workbooks (these workbooks have 6 worksheets) supplied by the government.  Once the divisions have added their data, they will forward to me to make one workbook.  I need to SUM all amounts in each cell for all 6 worksheets to make one workbook out of the multiple workbooks I receive.

My experience with Excel is a novice!

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Lisa

RE: Combining Multiple Excel Workbooks to one Excel Workbook

You can reference external workbooks using:

[test1.xls]Sheet1!A1


so the formula

=[test1.xls]Sheet1!A1+[test2.xls]Sheet1!A1


in your target workbook sheet1 cell A1 will add corresponding cells from the workbooks Test1.xls and Test2.xls. The formula in cell A1 can then be copied across the whole required area.

Good Luck
