Default summarize multiple worksheets using VBA

Tony
From what you say about what you have and what you want, I would venture
a guess that it would be an easy task to write you some code to do it for
you. But without a lot more information, it would be impossible to do so.
Write down a procedure you would follow if you were doing what you want and
you were doing it all manually. When you say you would go to sheet X and
row 6 and copy cells this and that, provide some guidance as to why sheet X,
why row 6 and why this cell and that cell. Why not sheet Y? Why not row 7?
Also, you say you want to see this and that in your totals sheet. Where in
your totals sheet?
Imagine you just hired a guy off the street who knows nothing about
landscaping and you want him to do all this for you. What would you tell
him? HTH Otto

...
I have a job costing spreadsheet that includes 7 worksheets from my
different
vendors and a labor worksheet which includes hourly rates, overhead, etc.
This spreadsheet accurately tells me the cost for a job and currently i
have
a "totals" worksheet which simply sums any data input into the vendor
worksheets and the labor worksheet. On each of the 7 vendor worksheets,
there are materials, plants, trees,etc (landscaping company). I also
include
as columns, our cost, 15% markup price, 20% markup price and 25% markup.
My
totals worksheet shows my labor costs, along with a sum of the individual
vendor worksheets at all levels of pricing (ie:our cost, 15%, 20%,, etc).
The trick here is that I would like to see what comprises the order from
each
vendor on the summary page as well whereas now I only see the dollar
totals.
Ideally if in vendor worksheet 1, I need 10 items and in vendor sheet 2, i
need 4 items, i would like to see the 10 items and the 4 items on my
totals
sheet along with all of the cost/pricing amounts. I havent been able to
find
any built in functions that can handle this so i'd be open to trying
something like that as well. ANy help is greatly appreciated...thanks
