SUMMARYIn Microsoft Excel, worksheets bound in workbooks can be consolidated by using standard workbook referencing (that is, [Workbook Name]SheetName!Range). However, attempting to consolidate references that include wildcard characters results in the error message: For information about a similar issue in Microsoft Excel 5.0, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q118755 : XL5: Errors Using Wildcard in Sheet Name with Consolidate MORE INFORMATION
When using the CONSOLIDATE() function or choosing Consolidate from the
Data menu, a "?" and an "*" (without the quotation marks) are valid
wildcard characters which can be used in references in place of single
or multiple characters respectively. For example, to consolidate the
range A1:D10 on SALES1.XLS and SALES2.XLS, valid references would be
"SALES?.XLS!A1:D10" or "SALES*!A1:D10" (without the quotation marks).
