    Combining Columns from Different WorkSheets

    I was wondering anyone can help, I've got 3 worksheets with data coming from different sources and I need create a new worksheet based the combined data from a single column. Basically I need to be able to take the unique name column from each workbook and generate a single unified column. I need this to be dynamic so that changes to the 3 original sheets are reflected in the new column. Something like this:

    Google's letting me down on this one, all I can get is how to concatenate columns.

    Thanks in advance. (First post, be nice )

    Welcome to the forum.

    It would help if you attached a sample Excel workbook, as a picture is not much use to us. Just follow the instructions in the yellow banner at the top of the screen.

    Thanks Pete_UK, I've attached sample here. In the actual spreadsheet I'm working on the content in Sheets 2-4 is pulled in via a PowerQuery.

    Thanks Sandy666, got it sorted. Appending in Power Query was the solution.
