Hi Faraz

Try this; if your sheets are named Sheet1,Sheet2,Sheet3...Sheet10 etc; then

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'Sheet" &ROW(1:10) &"'!A1"),"x"))

If this post helps click Yes

Any idea how to carryout an exercise of counting the number of times an entry
appears in multiple sheets' cells A1?

In other words a formula like:
=COUNTIF(Sheet1:Sheet10!A1,"X")

So as to checkout the number of sheets carrying "X" in their respective cell
A1?
