Method 1: Use Excel formulas.
We can make use of the index and indirect functions in excel to achieve this need. Supposing we need to extract data from the a1 cells in the worksheets named Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3, we can use the following formula in another worksheet: =index(indirect("'"&a1&"'!a1"), row(1:1))。In this formula, the A1 cell stores the name of the worksheet we want to extract data from. By adjusting this formula, we can easily extract data from different worksheets.
Method 2: Use VBA macros.
For more complex or large-scale data extraction needs, we can use VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) macros to achieve this. Here is a simple VBA macro example, which will iterate through all the worksheets in the workbook and extract data from the A1 cell of each worksheet:
In this macro, "summary" is the name of the worksheet we want to summarize the data. By modifying this macro, we can easily adapt to different data extraction needs.
Summary: Extracting data from multiple Excel sheets in the same location is a common task, and we can choose to use Excel formulas or VBA macros to achieve it according to the actual situation. Please note that when using VBA macros, you need to make sure that the macro feature of Excel is enabled. By mastering these methods, we can process and aggregate data more efficiently, which can lead to greater productivity.
