Hi
do you have a list of all sheets or do they have a naming convention.
If yes you may use INDIRECT. Just post some more details about:
- how the sheets are all named
- which cells you want to reference

I have several workbooks that each has 65-70 worksheets in them and I

have to
update and balance them each year at the end of the year. The

balancing part
has always been a serious chore and I am trying to find a way to

simplify it.
I am currently trying to balance from last year before I have to

start this
years!!

Currently, I have a report I pull that tells me the total I need to

balance
back to, and I keep it in Excel also. I have been linking the cells

from
each sheet back to this report sheet but wanted to see if there is a

formula
or function I can use that will pull the figure from one cell in each
spreadsheet to the report sheet where I can compare and determine

which
sheets do not match as my totals are not matching.

I entered a simple linked formula, but to enter that formula into

each cell
will take entirely too long. Copying does not work, it simply pulls

the
first sheet total, all the way down the report sheet. Changing the

formula
for each line is also very time consuming. I tried a true/false

formula, but
with the same problem. The first one works fine, but the copies

reference
the first sheet and not the following sheets.

Is there anything I can do to speed this up and make it easier to

find where
I am out of balance?
