No Message Displayed if Consolidation Destination Is too Small PSS ID Number: Q68413 Article last modified on 02-26-1993 PSS database name: W_eXceL

WINDOWS

Summary:

Page 329 of the “Microsoft Excel User’s Guide,” version 3.0, incorrectly states that Microsoft Excel displays a message during consolidation if the destination area highlighted is not large enough to hold all the consolidated information.

If the destination area is a single cell, row, or column, Microsoft Excel will expand the destination area to accommodate the data. If the destination area selected includes multiple rows or columns, Microsoft Excel will fill the area with the consolidation results, quitting when all data has been pasted or when the destination area is full.

This documentation error does not occur in Microsoft Excel version 4.0.
