Smart Consolidation  

Do you wish to consolidate data come from many sheets contained in more than one workbook?
and, besides, the records are disordered?
Then, this tool will make it for you.
Let's see an example:
Suppose, that I want to consolidate data contained in 2 workbooks,

In this example, the ranges' names are the following ones:

Then, we open the corresponding dialog box (showed below)

The result is a pivot table con the wished consolidation.
If we had chosen "Paste results as... Static table" then the results would be showed in a simple table.
