Default Data exctraction from multiple sheets


Hi,
thx for your reply. I just want to display the text. However When I try the
formula " =INDIRECT("Sheet"&ROWS($1:1)&"!B1")" it was not taking values from
another sheet ie when i tried to enter a value from another sheet in "Sheet"
there was a error.
could u also tell me what an A1-style reference and R1C1-style reference
is? can u pls help me out here.

let me try ann explain my problem more clearly.

1.sheet1, sheet 2..to sheetn all have a common format.
2. Now i have a master sheet in the same workbook in which i want to
consolidate the data.
3. I want to extract data from all these sheets to this master sheet
automatically (ie as i add or delete sheets the master list gets update
automatically).
4. ijust want the data to be displayed there is no need of computations.

Are you talking about totaling a specific cell on each sheet?

=SUM(Sheet1:Sheet3!D1)

Or, totaling a range:

=SUM(Sheet1:Sheet3!A1:B5)

OR, simply displaying data from a specific cell ( *B1* ) with a formula that
can be incremented by copying down:

=INDIRECT("Sheet"&ROWS($1:1)&"!B1")

hi robert,

thx for your response.
I have tried that before but the problem with that is when u drag the
formula the sheet numbers dont change eg : Sheet1!D27+Sheet2!D27 when
dragged
will change to Sheet1!D28+Sheet2!D28 or Sheet1!E27+Sheet2!E27. Now this
becomes a problem bcs u have hundreds of sheets to manage..u remove some u
add some. so its kinda painful. Is there anyway out of this?
