VSTACK Excel - Quickly Combine Data from Multiple Sheets (Excel Noob Vs Pro)

Discover the power of VSTACK in Excel to dynamically combine data from multiple sheets into one. Combining or appending data from multiple sheets is a common task in Excel. In this video I'll show you how you can stack multiple data sets vertically with a single formula. We'll use Microsoft Excel's new VSTACK function.

🌟 Key Learning Points:
- VSTACK Function: Learn to use VSTACK for dynamically combining ranges from different sheets.
- 3D Referencing for Multiple Tabs: Explore 3D referencing with VSTACK to append data from over 15 tabs in a single formula.
- Filtering Zeros: Understand how to use the FILTER function to remove unwanted zeros from your combined data.
- Sorting with Formula: Find out how to sort your data by specific criteria using the SORT function.
- Dynamic Updates: See how newly added data from another file updates automatically in your VSTACK formula.
- Advanced Sorting: Get insights into multi-level dynamic sorting using SORT with multiple columns.

🚀 Practical Applications:
- Combine data from different sheets without manual copy-pasting.
- Create a summary sheet that automatically updates with new data.
- Keep your data organized and presentable, even with last-minute additions.

I'll also show you how you can combine VSTACK with the FILTER function to eliminate blanks/empty spaces. You'll also learn how to use the SORT function to dynamically sort your data - even with multiple levels. Example: Sort your data first by products (ascending) and then by sales (descending).

"Hold my gotta love the lady! Excellent and creative as always. Well done again, Leila!

[ashutoshaurum]

Whenever I YouTube a problem on Excel and it's your video, I know it is the best of the lot. Thanks for the wonderful explanation!.

[mamachugh]

This is fabulous Leila! I always appreciate your tutorials. Short and sweet, as always.

[dagnabit]

This is amazing!

Side note: I'm the noob who didn't know you could drag and drop tabs from a different file so I learned quite a bit in this video.

[tommyriddley]

I have been following you and it has resulted in me signing up for your courses on Udemy. Although I have to take several attempts at the lessons it is great using your practice files so I can concentrate on developing my understanding of the functions. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[Rogue-productionsCoUk]

This totally fits my learning style! Great to see the problem and have the solution stepped through. Excellent demo of 3 function in 7 minutes!!

[ujjwaldeo]

OMG😲
I had no clue about this before today. In actual tasks on our jobs, things would be so much easier...just using this, esp. the VSTACK....simply wow👌.
Thanks Leila👍🏻

Leila Gharani !!! She does it again Thank you !! I will be implementing this soon, You have taken by the hand from a below average excel user to Finance Executive level execution in a few months. You are one of the best things to happen to my career.

[Cappurnikus]

Very cool function. Thanks for sharing! I recently solved this same scenario but with VBA. It was a very small loop but also considered the last row of each sheet to ensure there will never be missed info. Thanks again!

[superohitupadhyay]

I feel superman among my colleagues, I have gone through all your videos on UDEMY as well as YouTube, many thanks for making our job easier, more power to you, and about your acting style in this video, since your content is so informative you don’t need it, however it’s making video more interesting.. Thanks (your follower from India)..

[pwells]

Really enjoyed your helium voice for the newbie :) Great info too. I've been using Excel for ages and didn't know about the 3D worksheet referencing (I thought that was dead with Lotus 123) or the { bracket feature. Many thanks.

[chrism]

Thanks Leila! I still don''t have VSTACK but can't wait to get this and other new functions.

[Hey_Dave]

Love the switch-up!! Amazing!
I always learn something new from your videos.

[michebernier]

Thank you so much for this video, it was great reminder that formulas can be built with main intent, then sub requests added in as they were requested, all too often many of us build the formula from the beginning to the end, and forget we accomplish one goal, then add another goal, and so forth. Example, delivery and content was fantastic -- Thank you !

[nathanmclauchlan]

Wow. Amazing. Thanks so much, you made it rather easy to combine data from multiple sheets, remove blank rows and sort the data

[loganwebb]

I loved this! I am relatively novice with excel but I've learned a massive amount from you. I found the other day that I did not know how to stack data without manual copy pasting and have been trying to figure that out for nearly a month. Thank you for showing this vstack formula!
