Hi,
In 2003 you are limited to 1024 characters in a formula, in 2007 that limit
is 8192.
You can make your formula shorter by defining range names such as
'Sheet1'!R:R defined as S1R.
Also, if you are writing this fomula on the Employee Summary sheet then you
don't need references like
='Employee Summary'!A3
instead use =A3
You could also range name
'Employee Summary'!A3
to
EmA3
If you don't want to do this you can break up the formula into 2 cells and
then add their combined results in a third cell
If this helps, please click the Yes button.

I am trying to add up this formula across 30 worksheets:
=SUM(('Sheet1'!R:R="Late")+('Sheet 1'!E:E='Employee Summary'!A3))
I tried doing this, but got stopped after the formula got too long:
=SUM(('Sheet 1'!R:R="Late")+('Sheet 1'!E:E='Employee
Summary'!A3))+SUM(('Sheet 2'!R:R="Late")+('Sheet 2'!E:E='Employee
Summary'!A3))+SUM(('Sheet 3'!R:R="Late")+('Sheet 3'!E:E='Employee
Summary'!A3))... Sheet 4, Sheet 5...to Sheet 30 etc...
I need to summarize the exact formula from Sheet1 to Sheet30. How can I do
this?
Thanks!
Mae
