I had to add a formula in the beginning because I renamed the .xls files. Made a system that would account for future files as long as the common sheet stays the same.

My solution.  Probably took a few extra steps but I got there.

My solution was overly complicated, but relatively simple to put together. The Formula + Summarize combo is very tidy.

4/5
