If Excel data is on different sheets, you can create a pivot table using multiple consolidation ranges. It's better if the data is all on one sheet, but if you don't have that option, multiple consolidation ranges will pull all the data into one pivot table.
In Excel 2003 you can open the PivotTable and PivotChart wizard by choosing Data | PivotTable and PivotChart Report. There's no equivalent command on the Ribbon in Excel 2007, but you can press Alt+D, then type P to open the wizard.
The pivot table from multiple sheets isn't as flexible as a regular pivot table -- all the data fields use the same summary function, and there's only one row field. However, while you're setting up the pivot table you can create one or more page fields, and create labels for the data ranges.
Read the Instructions
There are written instructions, and details on the pivot table limitations, on the Contextures website: Excel Pivot Table Tutorial -- Multiple Consolidation Ranges
Watch the Video
This video shows you the steps in Excel 2007, to create the pivot table from multiple sheets, and set up a page field.

Hi,
Thanx for the video tutorial. Helped me alot. My Question is, is is possible to work on the same kind of scenerio as shown in the video if my workbook is being SHARED among three people on a network? Can We all log on to the file and update the East, West and possibly Central sheet at the same time and then unshare it so that I am able to update the information since pivot functionality is not there in a shared excel file?
Thanx again for your help.
i was asking if some one can tell me how i can tally election results in excel,given that i have to import those results from somewhere and tabulate them,for instance figures from different polling stations being tabulated together with other polling stations within the same district and then all the districts added together nationally.
Very usefull and very good explained.
Very Useful and well explained.
Thanks a ton!!
Good information, but my Excel 2007 does have a pivot table choice on the ribbon and I am unable to do what was shown in the video, i.e., consolidate data from multiple sheets. alt+D, P don't bring up anything.
Never mind, I'm a clutz. I got it. Cheers.
