I have a workbook ("A") with 81 tabs. I am looking to grab the text in cell
A50 in each of these tabs and have it "posted" on another workbook ("B") in a
cell corresponding to that tab's row. So if I have text such as "no exception
noted" on tab 1A-1, cell A50, (from Workbook A), I would like to have that
text copied on workbook B in a cell from a column named "summary of results"
and in the row that corresponds to the tab named 1A-1. I know how to do this
part for a single tab but because there are 81 tabs a way to do this for
every tab in a single formula (each tab has obviously a different tab name)?

Workbook B
tab ref summary of results
1a-1 no exception noted
1b-1 document not signed
1b-2
1c-1

The summary of results text comes from cell A50 in each of the tabs in
workbook A.

Hope I explain this clearly and someone out there can help.

Thanks,
pfa
