Use the Consolidate Feature to Combine Data

Do you want to combine tables together?  Lets say you have sales data that span multiple columns but there rows and rows of values.  Also there are multiple worksheets (or tabs) that have the same format.  The only difference is that one worksheet if for salesperson A and the other worksheet is for salesperson B.  Now with two sales people the act of combining this together would be a simple copy/paste.  However if you have more sales people (like 10, 15, or more!), that would be a lot of copying and pasting.  Instead of doing that, just use the consolidate feature in Excel to do the heavy lifting.  See how it's done with this video.
