Collating and crossing over sheets and workbooks

How do I collate information from 2 different workbooks or from 2 different sheets in the same workbook such as one with an amount of days which each employee works and one with how much each day costs for each employee so that I can work out the exact cost and profitability of everyone seperately?

RE: Collating and crossing over sheets and workbooks

Hi Laura

Thanks for your question.

Working out each person's total will be a multiplication (number of days worked x cost).

If you are doing this where the number of days worked and the cost are on separate sheets in the same file then:

1. Select the cell where you wish to enter the formula.

2. Press =

3. click on the sheet containing the number of days worked and select the cell showing the number of days worked for the person in question.

4. Type in *

5. click on the sheet containing the cost/day and click on the cell containing the cost/day for the person in question.

6. Press Enter.

If the cost/day and the number of days worked are in different workbooks, then you will follow the same procedure, you would just need to make sure both files were open first.

Excel tip:

Change the default location for opening and saving spreadsheets

If you are always opening spreadsheets from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.

Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Enter the pathname of the folder you wish to make the default in the Default File Location box (hint: it will be easier to use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, then copy and paste the pathname from the address bar at the top of the Windows Explorer screen).

4. Click OK.

You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving spreadsheets.
