ConsoXL v1.2.0.0

ConsoXL v1.2.0.0
Win App | 3.7mb | RS.COM
ConsoXL is the easiest way for the consolidation of Excel sheets. If you often send out spreadsheets to affiliates, branches, departments...and later need to consolidate them all, ConsoXL will save you hours of work. It requires Microsoft Excel 2007, Excel 2003, Excel XP (2002), Excel 2000 or Excel 97

When you create an Excel file format to be fulfilled and want to consolidate all the files, you need to repeat over and over the same Excel operations, sheets and cells selection, copy etc. When a file is changed or updated the process has to start again. This is a time consuming activity and error-prone.

ConsoXL has a different approach. Instead of asking you to select each sheet and cell and apply a formula it will build the consolidation model by analyzing the content of the files. It uses by default the sum function for all numbers and keeps formulas. Therefore the only remaining thing to do is to determine how to group the sheets. Most often as they come from the same initial form they have the same name, the filename being the name of the department, branch etc. This is much faster than making manual selection and it’s safer in the sense that no cell will be left aside.




ConsoXL starts Excel, loads the files and does the full consolidation process. The outcome is one Excel workbook containing either:

-- The total for each group of sheet
-- The total and the details in the comments, so you don’t need to move from one sheet to another to see where the values are coming from.
-- The total and all the sheets from the different files. The sheets are linked to the total. This is handy for simulation.

A summary is added at the end so you always know which files where used for a specific consolidation.

Main features:

-- Excel sheets consolidation without parameters.
-- Creates a workbook with consolidated sheets and details sheets.
