I have an Excel document with multiple tabs for different jobs. I am trying to find a way to show the top few rows from each tab on one sheet. Kind of a snap shot overview of the tabs.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to edit the information on the snap shot tab and the tab it is referencing.

I heard using Pivot Tables is probably the way to go, but it doesn't seem to do what I want. Probably because I'm doing it wrong, so I am here for your help.

The data I want to duplicate looks like this:
EXCEL DATA TO DUPLICATE ON ANOTHER SHEET.PNG


When I use a pivot table, it makes the data look like this (I want it to look exactly like the original):
EXCEL DATA IN PIVOT TABLE.PNG


I have also pasted special and that works, but obviously I can't edit the data on the snap shot tab if I do that.
I understand I'd have to repeat any steps for each tab and also if any new tabs were created on the snap shot tab, but if there was a way to automatically show A1 through H6 from each tab automatically, that would be spectacular.

Is there any way to do what I'm thinking?

Thanks for your time!
