Hi there! :)

The other way is to create a Pivot table which consolidates data from multiple workbooks. You will need the Power Query Add-in. If it is already installed, you can immediately follow the guide below.

You can download it here:

Here is a guide and there is a tutorial video:

You will also need to ensure that the data in the data files are already in tables.
