@@GoodlyChandeep heyy, I unable to get your video on consolidate the data from different files when data is not in identical format ie. Columns are different. Can you please help on this.. appreciate your quick turnaround
Absolutely brilliant..! Thank you so much..! I never knew this and just applied to combine data from 167 sheets and it worked like butter smooth. Thanks a Ton..!
Chandeep, this was fantastic. You clearly explained processes that others simply glossed over and I was able to complete an important project. Thank you!
Amazing video! May God richly bless you for this wonderful tutorial 😊 This is much faster than other methods I’ve found that have you create individual sources per sheet, or try to use buggy VBA code.
Hi Chandeep -- This is a life saver. Just one query, I wish to replicate the same on Excel web. Is it possible? My team and I want to work on the online excel and input respective data so that the same is auto inputted in the consolidated lis
In the meantime, you can check out this book -th-cam.com/video/A61KJt4L87Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vK6wV5m85mqErqof Also, my book is coming soon, so stay in touch for any updates :)
Thank you for the guide. i do have some additional question on adding more sheets. you shown us to replicate sheet at (06:01) , would it still work when we Create New Sheet (+)?
another thing, i tried working on the same Workbook (01:18) > Data > Get Data > From File > From Excel > "same Workbook" > Import , i get the following error msg "Unable to Connect: "The process cannot access the the file 'c:\Users\userA\Workbook.xlsx' because its is being used by another process" Would you know what this error means.?
Hello Chandeep. I learned a lot from this tutorial; however, if I am combining sheets with the same ID say, and I want the other fields that pertain to that ID from other sheets, how can I get all the data within the same row for the ID without removing duplicates?
Hello Chandeep, Thanks a lot. Your trainings are perfect. I have a question: I need to transform and combine multiple files in a folder. In the "Transform Sample File" step, I need to add a column to the "sample file" which includes the most used text in a specific column. I can easily group, sort, keep first row, remove other columns and drill down the needed value. But when I go back to the previous "original table" step, the variable isn't recognized. By any chance, can you propose a solution? Thanks again for all your sharings. Regards,
Hi Chanddep! Thank you for your tutorial. I have a question, I have multiple reconciliation sheet which I would like to summaries the balancing total. Do you have a solution?
How can I retain the formated field the same way after unpivot, for example when I change a field to currency, after pivot I lose the $ sign and the ,'s.
Hi Chandeep - this work perfectly until the very end... It won't let me specify the current worksheet and instead summaries my 7 sheets in another 7 sheets :). I've re-watched the video at least 5 times and paused and copied exactly and can't see what I'm doing wrong???
Hi... Can u assist as in ... How to obtain the data on refreshing the consolidated file for a new sheet inserted in the existing workbook with the same headers?
I have a different sheets same like inventory with duplicate names of the items but I want it to be consolidated without being duplicate but the qty should not change Ex. Screw 5 inch 10pcs , screw 5 inch 50pcs
I have a folder containing 19 Excel worksheets with each worksheet containing 16 sheets inside it. While the name of the excel files are different, the name of individual sheets inside them is same i.e. they start from "Sheet 1" and go till "Sheet 16". What I have to do is append each sheet at the end of the next one and continue the same to get a new excel file containing only one sheet. (In other words, sheet 1 from file two (say, B) will be appended at the end of sheet 1 from file one (say, A) and sheet 1 from file three (say, C) will be appended at the end of the above two files containing sheet 1 from files A and B, respectively and so on untill every file is added).
Hi Chandeep, I have consolidated data using the said method. I just want the cell formatting also to be the same as in my original sheets. It pulls up the data only but not the formatting. Like for example in some sheets I have some data in Red color font, some cell backgrounds have changed as per my requirement. How to pull up the cell format in the new consolidated sheet
Hi Chandeep, When I select the folder option (as shown at 1:51 in video), my options of Load/transform data get DEHILIGHTED. I tried to look for some setting issue if it is, but unable to resolve. So what should I do if more spreadsheets are added in future in my datasheet??? Thanks for sharing knowledge with the world.
Not sure if you figured this out by now, but two help others, in my Mac version this happens also. But, right click on the top level folder and I get a menu with "Transform Data".
I follow the steps and when I am to Import the Data I do not have the option to add it in my existing worksheet. When I add to a New Worksheet, then I get duplicate the sheets I wanted to aggregate in a form of a Table. When there is the expand option should I opt in for Aggregate instead of Expand?
Hello, this worked perfectly but when I make any changes to the sheets, like new entry or even deleting a sheet, the combined table won’t refresh. Any idea how to fix this?
How can you use the to connect to the same file while it is currently open? It is showing process currently in use error if you attempt to choose the same file.
How to do if it is required to transpose data (with both attributes and date for a month) for each sheet and combine each sheet (in monthly basis) in power query? FYI...The headers are on row side.
Hi Chanddep. As we are using same file to prepare Consolidated sheet, now if i want share the file with others they get error to find that data source couldn't find. Is there any way that everytime the query pick the file in the same file in which i am working, even if i rename itor save it somewhere else?
I have found the way from other video. First convert all the sheets in TABLE Then create a query for each query GET DATA ->> FROM OTHER SOURCES ->> BLANK QUERY ->> in the formula bar type "Excel.CurrentWorkbook()" Next time you just update the data in the sheets and refresh the queries
I have a column which contains external links or hyperlinks. While I combine them into master sheet, only the text is copied in that cell, the hyperlink isn't getting populated in master sheet. Any way to fix this?
Chanddep, I just consolidated a massive file that was related to a 100 Million dollar project! Kudos brother!!
Hope you get a percentage of that 😅
Cheers

Sorry but Power Query cannot retain the source formatting.
@@GoodlyChandeep Is there any way other way to do both i.e consolidate data as well retain source formatting?
Would be good if you also post for different excel workbooks and different formats
Generally No. You'll have to perform some additional steps to bring the data in the same format
I'll try to post a video soon
I need your assistance with merging a bit of a complicated file

Thanks Brother
This fantastic bro I need you help
Load data to existing worksheet option is disabled in my system how to enable that otherwise it creates different consolidated sheets. Kindly reply.
I follow the steps and when I am to Import the Data I do not have the option to add it in my existing worksheet. When I add to a New Worksheet, then I get duplicate the sheets I wanted to aggregate in a form of a Table. When there is the expand option should I opt in for Aggregate instead of Expand?
Very helpful. thankyou,
Thanks ❤👍🏻

How can you use the to connect to the same file while it is currently open? It is showing process currently in use error if you attempt to choose the same file.
Get Data > From File > From Workbook (Make sure your file isn't on One Drive)
Thank you! Time saver! :)
Great learning
my excel are old version please suggest me how can i combine multiple sheet in one sheet, there is no option of get data in my excel sheet
How to do if it is required to transpose data (with both attributes and date for a month) for each sheet and combine each sheet (in monthly basis) in power query? FYI...The headers are on row side.
It was very useful just that my data increased in size significantly
THANK YOU SO MUCH😭
Hi Chanddep. As we are using same file to prepare Consolidated sheet, now if i want share the file with others they get error to find that data source couldn't find. Is there any way that everytime the query pick the file in the same file in which i am working, even if i rename itor save it somewhere else?
I have found the way from other video.
First convert all the sheets in TABLE
Then create a query for each query
GET DATA ->> FROM OTHER SOURCES ->> BLANK QUERY ->> in the formula bar type "Excel.CurrentWorkbook()"
Next time you just update the data in the sheets and refresh the queries
Thank you!!
Welcome!
I have a column which contains external links or hyperlinks. While I combine them into master sheet, only the text is copied in that cell, the hyperlink isn't getting populated in master sheet.
Any way to fix this?
