How to Perform Calculations Across Multiple Sheets in Excel

Introduction to Multi-Sheet Calculations

• The video discusses how to perform calculations using data from multiple sheets in Excel, specifically when numbers are not all located in a single sheet. This allows for summarizing data across different sheets into one final summary sheet.

Setting Up the Calculation

• The presenter explains the need for a final sheet that aggregates results from four different sheets, ensuring that any changes made in those sheets will automatically update the final result.

• To begin, the user must identify cells with identical names across all relevant sheets to facilitate summation. The formula starts with an equal sign followed by "SUM" and an opening parenthesis.

Steps for Summing Cells Across Sheets

• Users should click on the first sheet and then hold down Shift while clicking on the last sheet to select all relevant sheets simultaneously before selecting the specific cell they want to sum. After this, pressing Enter will execute the formula.

• The formula bar will display a reference indicating which cells are being summed across selected sheets, confirming successful execution of the calculation. The resulting value reflects the total from all specified cells across those sheets.

Repeating Calculations for Different Data Sets

• Similar steps can be applied when summing other sets of cells (e.g., project data), as long as they share consistent naming conventions across sheets. Users can drag down or autofill formulas if cell names remain unchanged across their respective sheets.

• For monthly totals spanning 12 months per sheet, users follow similar procedures: initiating with "=", then "SUM", selecting appropriate ranges while holding Shift, and concluding with Enter to finalize calculations for each month’s data collectively across all four sheets.

Handling Unique Values Across Sheets

• If a value exists only once in one specific sheet (not repeated elsewhere), there is no need for summation; instead, users can directly link that cell's value by typing "=" and clicking on it from its original location in another sheet, allowing real-time updates if changes occur there.

How to Use Excel for Data Consolidation

Basic Cell Reference and Value Transfer

• The process of referencing a cell in Excel allows users to transfer values easily by clicking on the desired cell and pressing Enter, which updates the target cell with the source value.

• Users can perform simple summations without complex formulas; for instance, using a formula like =SUM() to aggregate values from multiple months directly into a designated cell.

• It is possible to sum values across different sheets or consolidate data from various cells into one sheet without needing extensive calculations.

Handling Different Cell Names Across Sheets

• When consolidating data, discrepancies in cell names (e.g., B8 vs. BS) across sheets require alternative methods for aggregation.

• To address differing cell names, users must navigate to the "Data" tab and utilize the "Consolidate" feature, ensuring no previous values interfere with new calculations.

Setting Up Consolidation in Excel

• Users initiate consolidation by selecting relevant cells from different sheets while noting that each sheet may have distinct naming conventions for similar data points.

• After identifying and selecting the necessary cells across multiple sheets, users confirm their selections within the consolidation interface.

Updating Consolidated Values

• Even if certain sheets lack current data, placeholders can be established so future entries will automatically update within consolidated totals.

• Adjusting individual cell values reflects immediately in consolidated results, demonstrating real-time updates based on user input.

Finalizing Data Aggregation Techniques

• The tutorial emphasizes understanding how to aggregate single cells or perform calculations across multiple sheets effectively using consistent naming or through the "Consolidate" tool.
