Greeting,

I have the following table in 5 sheets (Summary, Jan, Feb, March & Aprial).

Sheet (Jan)
Employee ID * * * * * * Name * * * * * * * * * *No. of Absent
1 * * * * * * * * * * * John * * * * * * * * * * * * * *1
2 * * * * * * * * * * * aaa * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 2
3 * * * * * * * * * * * bbb * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 1

Sheet (Feb)

Employee ID * * * * * * Name * * * * * * * * * *No. of Absent
1 * * * * * * * * * * * John * * * * * * * * * * * * * *3
2 * * * * * * * * * * * aaa * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 1
3 * * * * * * * * * * * bbb * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 4
.
.
.
.
So on.

What I want to do is how to summarize the above table as follows by using
sum if or count if:
Sheet (summary)
Employee ID * * * * * * Name * * * * * * * * * *Absent Total
1 * * * * * * * * * * * John * * * * * * * * * * * * * *4
2 * * * * * * * * * * * aaa * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 3
3 * * * * * * * * * * * bbb * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 5
