Default sum between workbooks

Steven,

I don't think you can sum across workbooks in the way that you can with
columns/rows and worksheets, as Excel does not know anything about what
workbooks would be constituted between the first and last. As such, I think
you would have to have a separate cell for each workbook that picks up the
amount, and sum those cells.

One way might be to hold a table of workbooks on another sheet, and
reference those in your formulae. That way you should be able to add others
without (many) changes.

Hello,

I'd like your help in the following. I have several workbooks with 13

sheets
each (monthes Jan-Dec and 1 that totals the 12). Every worksheet in all

the
workbooks is exactly the same. (cells in sheets do contain functions, some
are blank and some contain column/row headings).

I want to create a 13 sheet workbook which sums all the others month by
month and sumes the 13th sheet with the totals.

Is there a way to do this? functions or code does anyone have a solution?

Thank you,

Steven
