How would I make a workbook where the first sheet VSTACKS data from all subsequent sheets and then sorts them by column?
Our take
Managing multiple client sheets can be a challenge, especially when trying to consolidate and sort data efficiently. Imagine a workbook where a single summary sheet automatically combines part numbers from all client sheets using the VSTACK function, seamlessly incorporating new entries as you add them. You’ll discover how to create a dynamic solution that captures all subsequent sheets without needing to rewrite formulas. Plus, learn how to sort this consolidated data by part number, ensuring clarity and organization across your workbook. Explore the possibilities!
Basically, I have a workbook with separate sheets for separate clients, and each sheet has part numbers in it.
I want one sheet to summarize all the part numbers in the subsequent sheets. Basically, the VSTACK function to add the following sheets.
But where my design gets complicated is this: I want to be able to add a new sheet (basically, create a new customer) and have that new sheet dynamically included in the summary sheet. I.e., I don't want to re-write the VSTACK formula each time I add a new sheet because that will just end up with mistakes being made.
Is there a way to dynamically capture ALL following sheets in VSTACK?
And second, in the summary sheet, how can I sort the data by a criteria other than listing it in the order of the sheet it appears in? So in other words, I want to summary page to sort by part number, regardless of what customer's sheet it appears in.
Thank you so much!

- combining two columns into one without vstack or an arrayi have two columns of names on two separate sheets of a workbook. on a third sheet, i want to combine all of the (unique, but that part is easy) names into one column. from there, some vlookups nested in iferrors pull in additional from whichever sheet the name came from (looks for the name in the larger spreadsheet; if it's there, do the vlookup, but if there's an error, check the smaller sheet and do the vlookup). vstack does this nicely, but because it returns an array, i can't use basic sorting anymore. the sort function exists, but we want to be able to do different sorts at different times and this sheet is for use by my less tech savvy coworkers, so i can't rely on that. a recommendation of =query1 & query2 was attempted but i ended up with the first row of each spreadsheet in one cell. please let me know if anyone else has ideas! i've been googling but keep hitting walls :') submitted by /u/nidoqueenofhearts [link] [comments]
- Trying to figure out what is best to showcase the workbooks overviewHi all, I've inherited an Excel workbook tracking a number of items and quantities. There is a general overview sheet, and then numerous other sheets breaking down what items are needed for different projects. It has some duplication across the sheets for this reason! However, I wanted to give it an overview sheet, where it can be easily seen what is allocated where and if the quantity needed is available per project. I've done this before in a previous job role, but as they say "use it or lose it!" and I have lost it. I cannot remember how I set it up - it was pre-covid. I think Pivot tables/charts were involved, but it's not offering me all I want when I try it now. Maybe I'm having a mental block, or maybe there is a much better way of doing this now! I'm pretty savvy with Excel, so fire away - think I just need the mental push. Any help appreciated! submitted by /u/grimalkim [link] [comments]
- Exporting just one sheet?Looking for a clean way to do this. I've got a spreadsheet with multiple sheets that refence eachother for preparing data for a customer. Obviously I can just print one sheet but what I would really like to do is export the "customer" sheet as a new excel document. Ideally with some of the values becoming their data on the new sheet, but other cells keeping their formulas Example, first box would be what the cells on the export sheet output, next being their formulas. the second set would be how I would like to export, Hard coding the values as regular numbers that are referenced from a different sheet, but keeping the formulas that do math on the same sheet. Is this possible? https://preview.redd.it/cstcpxl78vqg1.png?width=181&format=png&auto=webp&s=f85a19322898ac8a3556d059ba1c5ad6dba7b867 =DifferentSheet!P7 =A1*10 =DifferentSheet!P8 =A2*10 =DifferentSheet!P9 =A3*10 https://preview.redd.it/s4xpp55h8vqg1.png?width=181&format=png&auto=webp&s=962737308118022dbc6a060481514fdc07c1e261 11.5 =A1*10 12 =A2*10 14 =A3*10 submitted by /u/223specialist [link] [comments]
- Pulling information from other work books with filtering and source id.Hi there. I've just thought of something that might help at my work. In our department we have three teams: Chemistry, Physical, and Petrography. Each has a spreadsheet for their work. We all do different tests obviously but this can and often is on the same project. I'm wondering if we can have one workbook that pulls the following from each work book: project number, client, project name, due date, and team. It should also exclude any projects with a completed date. Is that something reasonably do-able? My first thought would that this would be easy if each team had a worksheet in one workbook and we just had a dashboard but I'd expect some pushback on that as each team is quite protective over the project tracking for their own team. submitted by /u/Slartibartfast39 [link] [comments]
