    Thank you so much! I am creating a spreadsheet with monthly totals, which will consolidate to each of the 4 quarterly report sheets, then to an annual sheet. My consolidate is not automatically adding as I enter new numbers into the monthly sheet unless I highlight the sheet and consolidate it again. The Refresh button does not work. I am sure I did not do something correctly when I created the sheets. Any suggestions? I'd be happy to send my workbook.

      The plus sign indicates that you have grouped data. Click on the plus sign to display the grouped data and then select the rows. Go to the data tab and select ungroup

    Seeing as this video is pretty old, I'm not sure if you still answer questions, but I have one. I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly so thank you, however, my sheet has both %'s and $'s in it. The dollars are summed, but I don't want the %'s to be summed. For example, $1000 on each of 3 sheets is totaling to $3000, but that's also showing at 300% and it's really 100%. Can this be done where you have multiple functions? Also, can you eliminate the groupings on the side of the sheet so that one can't see what makes up the total unless they look at the individual sheet?

    • @BarbHendersonconsulting
      @BarbHendersonconsulting  3 роки тому

      The only way that you could get around the percent thing is if you showed your percent as decimals i.e. 30% would be .30
      The grouping is part of the function
