Default Looking for a better solution

If you could put all sheet names in let's say I1:I35 than you could use this
formula


=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&I1:I35&"'!B2"),"Y es"))

So a one time effort and put the sheet names in a range, all the sheets
that are involved. After that it's a breeze

I am counting the number of "Yes" answers on each worksheet of a workbook.
All the yes answers on in cell B2 of each sheet. The only way I could come
up
with to accomplish it is as follows:

=COUNTIF('Resize Row'!B2, "=Yes") + COUNTIF('Copy Formatting'!B2, "=Yes")
+
COUNTIF('Formatting Cells'!B2, "=Yes") + COUNTIF('Basic Chart'!B2, "=Yes")
+
COUNTIF('Modify Chart'!B2, "=Yes") + COUNTIF('Sorting Data'!B2, "=Yes") +
COUNTIF('Filtering Data'!B2, "=Yes") + COUNTIF('Printing Data'!B2, "=Yes")
+
COUNTIF('Find and Replace'!B2, "=Yes") + COUNTIF(AutoFill!B2, "=Yes") +
COUNTIF(Comments!B2, "=Yes") + COUNTIF('Number Formatting'!B2, "=Yes")

I am using v. 2003 so I cannot use the new COUNTIFS function. This works
but
it is rather time consuming and long (I have to add 35 sheets at the end).
Does anyone know of a better way without resorting to VBA?

Thanks.
