7) Specify where you want to display the result by selecting a target range from
the Copy results to drop-down list.
If the target range is not named, click in the field next to Copy results to and
enter the reference of the target range or select the range using the mouse or
position the cursor in the top left cell of the target range. Copy results to takes
only the first cell of the target range instead of the entire range as is the case
for Source data range.
8) Select a function from the Function list. This specifies how the values of the
consolidation ranges will be calculated. The default setting is Sum, which adds
the corresponding cell values of the Source data range and gives the result in
the target range.
Most of the available functions are statistical (such as Average, Min, Max,
Stdev), and the tool is most useful when you are working with the same data
over and over.
9) At this point you can click More in the Consolidate dialog to access the
following additional settings:
• Select Link to source data to insert formulas that generate the results
into the target range, rather than the actual results (the default action). If
you link the data, any values subsequently modified in the source range
are automatically updated in the target range.
Caution
The corresponding cell references in the target range are inserted in
consecutive rows, which are automatically ordered and then hidden
from view. Only the final result, based on the selected function, is
displayed.
