# Advanced Consolidation Manager 1.1.0

Released on October 17, 2007

The plug-in Advanced Consolidation Manager for Excel is used for uniting Microsoft Excel tables that are located in different files. In the most simple case, this operation can be done by opening a document, highlighting a table, copying it to clipboard and pasting in a new document, but when there are a lot of files or the tables are wide, this operation becomes quite laborious. The use of Advanced Consolidation Manager for Excel can simplify this work essentially. If you receive Microsoft Excel tables regularly and you have to unite them all in one work book, the plug-in Advanced Consolidation Manager for Excel will become your irreplaceable helper.
