Check the Consolidation

When you consolidate multiple worksheets as instructed here, you create a new worksheet with “3-D” references to the source worksheets. Because Excel has to display contents from all of the source cells, it automatically displays the consolidation as an outline with the outline collapsed so only the total for each category appears.

If one of the source worksheets changes, the consolidation automatically changes.
