Because no two people have the same file format or requirements, there really isn't a single solution to fit all needs.
HOWEVER: IF all of the data sheets are in the same format and IF all of the data sheets have all entries Basically, if the value for "Cola" "Op STK" is always in cell C2 or even more basic: each of your 31 sheets is made from the same "template" so that all ITEMS are listed in the same row on all sheets.. Then, here's what I did in Excel 2010. (I THINK it works in earlier versions) First, make sure your "Consolidated" sheet is either the first or the last sheet of your workbook. In your "Consolidated" sheet, select cell C7 (Cola, Op Stk) type =sum( then select the first sheet (01) hold down the shift key and select the last sheet (05 in the sample) (Be sure to NOT include the Consolidated sheet) This will input: =sum('01:05'! in the cell Your first sheet should be displayed (01) click in the "Cola, Op STK" cell (C2) then type a closing parenthesis. You should end up with: =SUM('01:05'!C2) This will sum all of contents of cell C2 in each of your sheets. copy/drag this formula across the columns, then down the rows and you should have your consolidation sheet. let me know how it works.
