What I am trying to do is to have the first five rows of one specific sheet in a workbook show up as the first five rows of all sheets in the workbook. So when I change anything on that one specific sheet, the changes are reflected on all sheets. I know how to split a sheet but while that is close, it is not what I need. I do need something similar to a split but I need to have the split be a different sheet, if that is possible. I am using Excel from Office 15.

I need help automating a daily task at work since I'm not a programmer. In short, I work with excel files and I am required to compare data between two workbooks for any duplicate values in any given columns (could be same or different columns) from both of the workbooks and hide the rows with the duplicate values in any one of those given workbooks. Since these workbooks are all different every time, is there a possible code that will allow me to hide the row with the duplicate values as needed on any workbook instead of me having to go through each row in every single workbook manually?
Excel has a tool to consolidate different list, sheets or workbooks. From a 3rd workbook go to the "DATA" tab, and click on the "consolidate" button as shown on the Fig. 1. Then, click on the "Browse" button, select the first workbook and click "add" button. Then repeat the same with the second workbook.Finally clik on the 3 check boxes and press ok. Please find below a link to an explanation of the consolidate funtion. If the funtion does not reads from the workbooks, you can try copying the two sheets you want to compare in one worbook

In Excel, I have 4 column headers (Id, Name, Age, Place).
I have 3 Excel worksheets with same column headers and different data.
I want to make a consolidated worksheet and the constraint is I have to check whether the column header is the same in all 3 worksheets and move it into the consolidated worksheet.
In the 1st worksheet I have values in the first row.
In 2nd worksheet, the first row is empty and the second row has data.
In 3rd worksheet, the first and second rows are empty and the 3rd row has data.
The 4th worksheet is the consolidated one. I want all 3 worksheet's data in this sheet.
How to do it with macros in vba?
There's built-in functionality for data consolidation.
You'll need to move your data so it's all on the same row but in the end will probably be much easier than writing code from scratch.
How to consolidate
Follow these steps to consolidate several worksheets into a master worksheet:
If you haven't already, set up the data in each constituent sheet by doing the following:
Ensure that each range of data is in list format. Each column must have a label (header) in the first row and contain similar data. There must be no blank rows or columns anywhere in the list.
Put each range on a separate worksheet, but don't enter anything in the master worksheet where you plan to consolidate the data. Excel will do this for you.
Ensure that each range has the same layout.
In the master worksheet, click the upper-left cell of the area where you want the consolidated data to appear.
Note: To avoid overwriting existing data in the master worksheet, ensure that you leave enough cells to the right and below this cell for the consolidated data.
Click Data → Consolidate (in the Data Tools group).
In the Function box, click the summary function that you want Excel to use to consolidate the data. The default function is SUM.
Here is an example in which three worksheet ranges have been chosen:
Select your data.

If you want to automate the process, record a macro as you performs the necessary steps and then you can edit as required.
See: Recording a Macro to Generate Code as well as Revising Recorded Visual Basic Macros. If you're not familiar with Excel (or whatever you're planning on automating with VBA), do that before attempting VBA.

I have a spreadsheet that will be completed by various staff which has numerous columns and rows and the cells will all have numbers in. I then need to somehow amalgamate the data in such a way that I can filter on an individual and it will show their data only. Problem is I will have over 30 separate worksheets. Any ideas please. I cannot pivot the master template as the rows have too many titles.
I would create a Master sheet which references to the other sheets. So for example, you could link the cells of the Master sheet to the ones of the other sheets so that when you populate the other sheets you will have all the data automatically in the Master sheet.
Otherwise, create a VBA code to copy paste the content of the workbooks into the Master sheet.
I need to write a VBA code that will consolidate 50 sheets in a separate excel workbook. What is causing me trouble is that the sheets have different formatting. I only need 2 items from each sheet but they can be located in different columns, and I want them copied to the same column on the new worksheet.
So for example, the second item I want consolidated can be located between columns B and F.
Any help is appreciated.
I admit to not being very technical and my limit up to now has been using paste links to connect data between sheets. I now have a requirement I cannot figure out.
I have 2 workbooks I wish to automate sharing data between.
Workbook 1 contains multiple rows of data manually entered.
I need a button against each row so when it is pressed data from certain cells on that row in Workbook 1 are transferred to cells within a worksheet in workbook 2
I would be very grateful for any guidance on how to achieve this.
Many thanks!
Though you can deploy VBA to achieve this, but the same is also possible with simple formula like.
=[1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1
Lets say you have two workbooks 1.xlsx and 2.xlsx and you want sheet1/column A1 value from 1.xlsx to be auto populated in sheet1/column A1 in 2.xlsx, you can simply link it with a formula like =[1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1 in second workbook 2.xlsx.
So as soon as some entry is done in first cell, second cell is auto populated
However if you are looking only for vba solution do write back
