One way:

Option Explicit
Sub GetMyCellValues()
Dim RptWks As Worksheet
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim myCell As Range
Dim i As Long

Set myCell = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set myCell = Application.InputBox("Click on the cell to use", _
Type:=8).Cells(1)
On Error GoTo 0

If myCell Is Nothing Then
'user hit cancel
Exit Sub
End If

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
Worksheets("Summary").Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Application.DisplayAlerts = True


Set RptWks = Worksheets.Add
RptWks.Name = "Summary"

i = 1
For Each ws In Worksheets
If ws.Name = RptWks.Name Then
'skip it
Else
ws.Range(myCell.Address).Copy _
Destination:=RptWks.Cells(i, 2)
RptWks.Cells(i, 1).Value = "'" & ws.Name
i = i + 1
End If
Next ws
End Sub

But instead of typing the address, application.inputbox with type:=8 allows you
to click on the cell to use.

If you have formulas, you may want to paste special|values, too:

ws.Range(myCell.Address).Copy _
Destination:=RptWks.Cells(i, 2)

becomes

ws.Range(myCell.Address).Copy
RptWks.Cells(i, 2).pastespecial paste:=xlpastevalues

or
rptwks.cells(i,2).value = ws.range(mycell.address).value

(You may want to worry about the numberformat, too.)

I'm trying to creat a macro which will copy and paste the value of a cell
(say G12 on a series of worksheets) to a newly created sheet "Summary". The
code (so far) is below, but far short of what I want to acheive. Can someone
help me?

Sub GetMyCellValues()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim myCell As String
i = 1
myCell = Application.InputBox("Enter Cell Reference")
Sheets.Add
ActiveSheet.Name = "Summary"
For Each ws In Worksheets
Worksheets(ws.Name).Select
'Worksheets(ws.Name).Range("a4").Select
Worksheets(ws.Name).Range(myCell).Copy _
Destination:=Worksheets("Summary").Cells(i, 2)
Worksheets("Summary").Cells(i, 1) = ws.Name
i = i + 1
Next ws
End Sub
