Update All Sheets at same time in a Excel Workbook


Say you have to urgently submit a file with many sheets.

For Example put a Header or write a same  data for all sheets.

I will show you an amazingly powerful tool called Group mode.

Right click on the January worksheet tab and choose Select All Sheets from the context menu.

Say that you have 12 worksheets that are mostly identical. You need to add totals to all 12 worksheets. To enter Group mode, right-click on any worksheet tab and choose Select All Sheets.

The name of the workbook in the title bar now indicates that you are in Group mode.

The title bar at the top of the Excel window shows the workbook name followed by the word Group enclosed in square brackets. [Group] is a very subtle indicator that the workbook is in group mode.

Anything you do to the January worksheet will now happen to all the sheets in the workbook.

Why is this dangerous? If you get distracted and forget that you are in Group mode, you might start entering January data and overwriting data on the 11 other worksheets!

When you are done adding totals, don’t forget to right-click a sheet tab and choose Ungroup Sheets.

Consolidate Data with Excel built in feature

There are two  consolidation tools in Excel.  You have three data sets. Each has names down the left side and months across the top. Notice that the names are different, and each data set has a different number of months. Data set 2 has five months instead of 3 across the top. Some people are missing and others are added. Data set 3 has four months across the top and a few new names. The Consolidate command will join data from all three worksheets in to one worksheet. You want to combine these into a single data set. The first tool is the Consolidate command on the Data tab. Choose a blank section of the workbook before starting the command. Use the RefEdit button to point to each of your data sets and then click Add. In the lower left, choose Top Row and Left Column. In the above figure, notice three annoyances: Cell A1 is always left blank, the data in A is not sorted, and if a person was missing from a data set, then cells are left empty instead of being filled with 0. Fill...
