How are the sheet named?
Try =SUM(Sheet1:Sheet12!C35)
where Sheet1 and Sheet12 are the actual names of the sheets, and C35 is the

Hi, I am working in an Excel workbook, with 13 worksheets. One sheet per
month and dollar amounts broken down by the day and type, Visa, MC..... On
the last row the daily amounts are totaled by using a formula
(=sum(C4:C34)).
On the last worksheet I am trying to do the same thing but total the
monthly
figures from the previous 12 worksheets (Jan-Dec) to get the yearly
figures.
I use ( =, then I click on the worksheet for that month on the cell w/ the
above formula) as the formula. Then I get an error = SUM(REF!). What am I
doing wrong? I am trying to set it up in advance for the whole year. Right
now of course the Feb-Dec numbers are 0.00. If I put the formulas in now
will
the annual numbers change as the monthly numbers do?--
I just need help sometimes :S
