would you be able to tell me step by step the best way to use the get & transform feature in excel 2016 to take information from other rep exel sheets and combine them all into a master

To use Get & Transform in Excel 2016, you create a query in your workbook. A query enables you to connect to, preview, and transform data from a wide variety of available data sources. You can then load that transformed data into a table, or into the built-in Data Model in Excel 2016, and even refresh that data later on. You can also edit the query whenever you need to, and share your query, too.

To create a query in Excel 2016, use the Data tab in the ribbon, then select the New Query button from the Get & Transform ribbon group.

Related Get & Transform features are also available from the Get & Transform ribbon group in the Data ribbon.

Looking at those steps in order, they often occur like this:
Connect – make connections to data sitting in the cloud, in a service, or locally
Transform – shape the data to meet your needs; the original source remains unchanged
Combine – create a data model from multiple data sources, and get a unique view into the data
Share – once your query is complete you can save it, share it, or use it for reports
