Default sum a large number of worksheets

Thanks, much appreciated

You can set up two (blank) worksheets, one called start the other
called end, and position them so that they form a "sandwich"
encompassing the sheets you want to sum from (i.e. your summary sheet
will be outside this "sandwich".

Then you can use a formula like:

=SUM(start:end!A1)

to add up all the A1 cells within that "sandwich". You can move sheets
into or out of this "sandwich" to model the effects.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I need to set up a worksheet that will summarise the data in the other
worksheets in the workbook.

Each worksheet has a different name eg Area N2, Area S2 etc.

I know this is easy but I could end up with over 100 worksheets that the
formula has to add up and so setting up the first formula will take ages.

Is there a quick way of setting the formula up or do I just have to get on
with it?

Thank you in advance of any replies
