[@delsolar3810]

Hello Chandeep, Thanks a lot. Your trainings are perfect. I have a question: I need to transform and combine multiple files in a folder. In the "Transform Sample File" step, I need to add a column to the "sample file" which includes the most used text in a specific column. I can easily group, sort, keep first row, remove other columns and drill down the needed value. But when I go back to the previous "original table" step, the variable isn't recognized. By any chance, can you propose a solution? Thanks again for all your sharings. Regards,

[@suvratrai]

[@dpecoraro66]

Hello Chandeep. I learned a lot from this tutorial; however, if I am combining sheets with the same ID say, and I want the other fields that pertain to that ID from other sheets, how can I get all the data within the same row for the ID without removing duplicates?

Hi Chandeep - this work perfectly until the very end... It won't let me specify the current worksheet and instead summaries my 7 sheets in another 7 sheets :). I've re-watched the video at least 5 times and paused and copied exactly and can't see what I'm doing wrong???

Hello, this worked perfectly but when I make any changes to the sheets, like new entry or even deleting a sheet, the combined table won’t refresh. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks bro save my time alot

[@imranali-iy5wk]

I have a folder containing 19 Excel worksheets with each worksheet containing 16 sheets inside it. While the name of the excel files are different, the name of individual sheets inside them is same i.e. they start from "Sheet 1" and go till "Sheet 16". What I have to do is append each sheet at the end of the next one and continue the same to get a new excel file containing only one sheet. (In other words, sheet 1 from file two (say, B) will be appended at the end of sheet 1 from file one (say, A) and sheet 1 from file three (say, C) will be appended at the end of the above two files containing sheet 1 from files A and B, respectively and so on untill every file is added).

[@michaelmaillis3377]

I follow the steps and when I am to Import the Data I do not have the option to add it in my existing worksheet. When I add to a New Worksheet, then I get duplicate the sheets I wanted to aggregate in a form of a Table. When there is the expand option should I opt in for Aggregate instead of Expand?

Would be good if you also post for different excel workbooks and different formats

Generally No. You'll have to perform some additional steps to bring the data in the same format

I'll try to post a video soon

[@SuperPaulpeter]

What if a column name in other sheets are different, Can we just have the tables come one below the other without having one common header?

[@Pa1KumarSistla]

Explanation is Crystal Clearly Good CCG - Chandeep Chabra of Goodly :)

[@dpdsouza]

When I try to consolidate the contents of other sheets to a blank sheet "Consolidated Data" which is in the same file it gives me the error as soon as I click the Transform button as "The process cannot access the file 'D:\OneDrive\OneDrive \Desktop\File Name.xlsx' because it is being used by another process." However if I chose the source as another file it allows me to proceed.

Don't do this with the file on One Drive. Store it locally and then try again

@@GoodlyChandeep bro you responded so fast, you just saved the day. I’m going to try it now.

[@munchems]

@@GoodlyChandeep I did it! You saved me so much work for the rest of the year, thank you! One question though, if I save back onto OneDrive will it still work?

[@GoodlyChandeep]

@@munchems Well it won't because to refresh the file you'll have to open it. And Power Query doesn't let you access the files while processing especially in One Drive.
