Automatically Reference Tab Name
If you want a list enter this and copy down
=ROW(A1)&"!a44"
if you want to sum the cells
=sum(1:50!a44)

I have a spreadsheet with 50 tabs - each one numbered 1 to 50, so that the
first tab is named '1', the second is named '2' and so on.
On a summary spreadsheet, I have formulas pulling the same cell (A44) from
each tab, so that:
the formula in cell A1 looks like this ='1'!A$44 and
the formula in cell B1 looks like this ='2'!A$44 and so on.
Is there a way to get Excel to "feed" the tab names to the formula without
the help of Visual Basic. For example, I would like to list the tab names
in
the spreadsheet (1 to 50) and have a formula in the cells that would
incorporate the tab names.
Tab Formula
1 ='1'!A$44
2 ='2'!A$44
3 ='3'!A$44
Does that make sense? If so, is there any way to do this?
