    Hi Niclas,

     

    This can be done with Power Query (Aka Get & Transform Data in Excel 2016).

    NOTE: if you don't have Excel 2016, you have to download and install the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39379.

     

    Power Query has a great tool called (Append), with this tool you can create multiple queries and append them together.

    Please watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTMODKl6GNY&list=PLHrPHBbDHgT0XiXLpBaREfRpRlx8SyGkf&index=1 to learn more about it.

     

    To take advantage of this tool, you have to create a table (Ctrl+T) from each marked area in each worksheet and name it with a good name, then create a query from each table and then load it into the workbook as connection only.

    But before load it as connection only, you have to https://www.excelcampus.com/library/fill-down-blank-null-cells-power-query/ the areas in the query editor.

     

    After that, you can append the connected queries into a one master table.

     

    The amazing thing is when you update any area in any worksheet and refresh the master table (right click >> refresh), will be updated.

     

    I've done all this for you, please find the attached file.
