If your sheet names have spaces, you must add quotes to the names.

So formula would read =SUM('your sheet:my sheet'!H34)

Try this trick.

Insert a new worksheet at beginning.

Name it Start

Insert a new worksheet at end.

Name it End

Then where you want the formula =SUM(Start:End!H34)

This will SUM H34 on all sheets between Start and End

With this method, you can insert more new sheets between without having to
change the formula.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, the totals of each category are in the same cell
on the different sheets. I just tried your suggestion and I get an error --
the cell reads "#NAME?". Perhaps I should mention that I named the sheets.
Do I need to use the names of the sheets instead of Sheet 1, etc? I tired
this and still get the error. Advice?

If the totals on each worksheet are in the same cell you can set up a 3D
reference to them on one sheet.

=SUM(Sheet1:Sheet10!H34) where H34 on each sheet holds a total for a category
on that sheet.

If the cells are randomly placed on each sheet it becomes more difficult.

I have created an Excel file with a worksheet for each month's expenses. I
would like to have a final worksheet to sum all the different categories.
How do I add cells from multiple worksheets?
Thanks!!
