put in 3 new blank sheets
Name the first First
Name the second Last
Name the third Master

in Master put in the formula
=Sum(First:Last!G1)

now move all your expense sheets between sheets First and Last in the tab
order. When you create a new one, put it between first and last.

Hi

Every time I do some work I create a spreadsheet containing details of
the expenses incurred. The total is always in cell G1. Is it possible
to create a master spreadsheet that will automatically add up all the
G1 cells without my having to update the formula each time I create a
new expenses spreadsheet?

TIA

Terry
