I have an excel file with 3 sheets. File can be downloaded from here
sample sheet looks like below
From all the 3 sheets, I would like to copy only rows with criteria Product = X and put it in one final sheet.
3 sheet names are sheet1,sheet2,sheet3. Is there any formula that you can help me with?
I am unable to attach a sample excel file in stack overflow.
Currently am doing this manually. Can you help?
You could use a power query (connection only) to get the data from each of the 3 sheets, then do a union (append) power query of those 3 connection only sources into a new query and return the data to a table on another sheet.
Get the combine/append query here
Clarification: you might want to turn your source data into tables first, which could be helpful if the range changes

I have a excel master list (Master.xls) which is updated regularly with tons of rows of data example it has unique column A,B,C,D,E. I need to create a new workbook (Report.xls) with reference to the master list (without editing or adding filter in master list) and extract all the rows that fulfill criteria example, get and display all the rows that column C = 300. In way where by when i update the master list, this report will update after refresh.
I tried online using Index but is not working and trying to minimise the use of macros or vba
What you describe is the perfect scenario for Power Query. Use it from a new workbook, load the master workbook into the query editor, filter and clean the data as you need and save to a sheet.
When the data in the master file changes, all you have to do is refresh the query. All this can be done without writing a single line of code, just clicking icons in the user interface.
I have a Excel report that I want it to be reformatted, restructured, and filtered into a specific Excel format.
The original Excel report shows repetition of 2 columns per 11 rows like the example below:
row1 : var1 |var2|var3 |(Empty)|var5|var6|var7|var8 |var9|(Empty)|var11|
row2 : (Empty)|var2|(Empty)|var4 |var5|var6|var7|(Empty)|var9|var10 |var11|
I have a designated list of row1:var1 variables and first I need to filter the other data out.
Next I need to filter out the data that I need, which is row1:var1, row2:var2, row1:var7, row2:var10, row1:var11. Then I need to use these data and create them into a row and compare and fix the existing excel file with the designated format according to row1:var1 variable.
For example, if "john" is a common person in both of the excel files(as in row1:var1) but if "john" in my Excel file have different properties(as in all the cell data I need except for row1:var1), I would like to update those properties with the properties of the reporting Excel file.
I have no clue where to start and I would greatly appreciate it if someone can help me out, even a little guidance.
Thank you ahead of the response.
The excel files I'm working with have multiple tables on one sheet separated by empty rows or in some cases empty columns. I'm having trouble separating these tables and adding them to Tableau. I have multiple sheets with multiple tables. I also have multiple excel workbooks for each year.
Sometimes I have 7-8 tables each below the other.I want to add each distinct table into tableau and compare the data in one table in one excel workbook by another table in another excel workbook by year.
What version of Tableau are you using? and why don't you turn on excel.
You can install Tableau Data Tool and get started on data cleansing.
Alternatively you can also use the Data parsing tool available in TD 9.0 on-wards. It will automatically ask you if you want to tune in the data after connecting to the excel file.
I've been using Excel a lot lately and I'm not quite familiar with Pivot table. Is it possible for me to combine 2 workbooks into 1 pivot table? The first workbook is about the days of leave of the employee and the second one is about the days that the employee is present. They have similar fields which is the internal ID. I was wondering if there's a way to combine the two workbook to make it 1 pivot table only. I tried the connection in excel that helps connecting my two workbooks but that will make 2 pivot tables. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
You can use the free add-in Power Query for Excel 2010 and 2013, or the built-in Get & Transform in Excel 2016 to combine data from different workbooks.
Create a query into the first workbook table and save it as a connection only. Then create a query into the second workbook table. Make sure the columns have identical names and are of the same data type. Then click append to combine with the first query, load to the workbook and create a pivot table as usual.
We have an access 2003 database and an excel 2003. We connected the excel to import the data from the access, so far so good.
At the end of the imported data right to the next 3 fields of the excel we want to add some comments, text.
Up to here all work fine, but when we update the data to excel the rows shuffle and the comments at the right columns remain at the same row. So the data rows shuffle and the comment rows remain at the same position.
So if row 3 has at the right the comment 3, when we update the worksheet to retrieve the new data from access it replaces row 3 with data from another row but the comment remains at row 3.
Is there a way for the excel to keep the imported data to the same position and not shuffling it?
We tried all the options at excel "What to do when new lines of data are available" but all do the same, it shuffles the data when we update, even if access has no new data.
Thank you in advance.
I think you will find that when you imported data from Access, Excel created/named a range called 'database' or 'data' or something like that. You need to expand that definition to include the added columns.
