Hi nattiej101
As commited tried to get 2016-2023 data
#1 2019-2023 was previously shared. Included as a separate sheet in PQ_Restructured_PlantLine2016-2023
=> Data source file: Source_OperationRateReport2019-2023#2 2016-2018 Included as sheet as a separate sheet PQ_Restructured_PlantLine2016-2023:
In October Operation Rate Report (DSM) sheet 2018 has info. from Apr 2013 - Dec 2018
- Exported that sheet to a new workbook
=> Data source file: Source_OperationRateReport2016-2018
- Duplicated the sheet
- Renamed it '2018 AFTER'
- Deleted all columns between Apr 2013 and Dec 2015 (too many inconsistencies* and #DIV/0!, #REF! errors)
- Filled a bunch of empty cells with NA (all colored in orange in the sheet)
- Created a specific query to import the data from sheet '2018 AFTER'* Going through that sheet I saw an (maybe there are others...) interesting =AVERAGE(H53,H55,H57,H53) that necessarily returns an inaccurate Avg...
+ Some values that seem to be Avg are not calculated and sometimes stored as Text values due to extra space(s) with the Number#3 Combined/Appended #1 & #2 as a single table named '2016-2023' in PQ_Restructured_PlantLine2016-2023
==> 5,564 records (0 errors)Hope this helps

You are incredible and deserve a raise!!! Thank you so so much. You just saved me probably 40 hours worth of reorganizing these files.
I hope you have a blessed rest of your year!! Lorenzo
