How can I create a Report that pulls data from both rows and the summary of multiple sheets?

I am looking to create a Report that consolidates data from multiple projects. I have a sheet for each project which includes Summary fields for each with items like Project Name and Description. I have a single row in each sheet for the data that changes month to month. e.g. Current spend to date.

What I'm looking for is a Report that combines both.eg.


Project Name Description Spend to date Budget

Project A Implement new system 100 200

Project B Deliver new PPE 500 1000


Is the above possible?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Hi @Trinity Brookes

    There are several ways to structure a solution. This is the one I'd recommend as the first option.

    • Create a so-called Master Metric Sheet
    • Add the data from the Sheet Summary to the row with the other data and then use cell-linking and add from each project to the Master Metric Sheet
    • Use the Master Metric Sheet in the report as needed

    Make sense?

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!
