Question

I am using excel 2010. I am trying to create pivot table between two worksheets ‘Summary’ and ‘Summary2’. I have identical row of data ranging from cells B5 to F5 in row 5 in both worksheets. Data in the two worksheets looks like this:

Summary worksheet: Issues,20,3,4,5
Summary2 worksheet: Issues,10,0,3,9

Worksheet referes to issues from location 1 and worksheet referes to issues from location 2. Col B has title ‘issues’, Col C refers to issues of customer 1, Col D refers to issues of customer 2, Col E refers to issues of customer 3, Col F refers to issues of customer 4

I go to a third worksheet and start pivot table and in the table range I give this: ‘Summary:Summary2’!$B$5:$F$5. Then I Say OK. Gives error “data reference source is not valid”. Can someone tell me how to select the row from two different worksheet in pivot table?

Also I want to be able to add issues of customers between two locations and get % completion for each locaiton.

Can someone please help?

You need to consolidate two spread sheets.
