=COUNTIF('Sheet1'!$A$2:$A$200,2001)

=COUNTIF('Sheet2'!$A$2:$A$200,2001)

and so on

if you put the list of numbers in the summary sheet
then just copy down
(assume they are in A2:A6

=COUNTIF('Sheet1'!$A$2:$A$200,A2)

For example worksheet 1 Column A B C D & E have
multiple
Numbers ranging from 2001, 2010, 2017, 2025, 2027,
2036 &
2038. Worksheet 2, 3 & 4 Have the same.
What i want to acheive is something to look at each
column in each worksheet and count, how many times
each
number appears and bring back a result for each in a
different worksheet.
