How to Create Pivot Table from Multiple Sheets

Creating a Pivot Table from multiple sheets in Excel can be a powerful way to analyze data spread across different sources. You will learn how to make a Pivot Table from many sheets from this step-by-step guideline.

Creating pivot tables across multiple sheets

Go to each sheet containing data. Create a Table from each set of data. Go to Insert -> Table.

Consider enabling the Data Model option. The Data Model allows you to work with larger datasets, create relationships between tables, and use DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) functions for more complex calculations.

Give each table a meaningful name in the “Table Name” box, like “SalesDataJan” or “SalesDataFeb”.

You can create calculated fields directly within your Pivot Table. These calculated fields allow you to perform on-the-fly calculations based on existing fields in your Pivot Table.

Create a relationships between sheets

You need to create Relationships. This is a column which connects your tables. If you know data bases this is such a primary key in database.

Go to Ribbon. In the PivotTable Tools tab which appeared click Analyze -> Relationships.
