Default Vlookup - multiple tabs

If your data is setup in such a way that a single SUMIF() function would
work if you inserted it into every sheet, you could then place that Sumif in
a location where each sheet would have their totals in exactly the same
cell.

Don't forget, you can group your sheets and insert that formula in every
sheet with a *single* entry.

If this doesn't sound plausible, post back with your data configuration, and
specific examples of what you're looking to accomplish.

Yes....I'm trying to avoid having to align the data because there are so

many
sheets and so much data; I'd be adding a bunch of blank lines. I'm hoping
there's a way to do it with a formula.

If you realign your data on each sheet, will the values have the same

address on each sheet?

You could create a formula similar to this if all the data was in say

D50:

=Sum (Sheet1:Sheet30!D50)

Post back if your question is more complicated.

I have a workbook with a large number of worksheets; on each worksheet

is
an
array of data. I'm creating a summary worksheet to sum all of the

other
worksheets. The problem is that all of the worksheets aren't
aligned....the
data to be added is all in column "E" but on its on a different line

on
every
sheet.

Each of the data lines does have a common identifier so that I can use

the
V-lookup formula to find the data to be added, but with so many

sheets, it
would be a very, very long formula.

Question, if I make all of the data arrays the same size, can I use

the
Vlookup formula across multiple worksheets....if "yes", how?

If not Vlookup, is there another means to do it?

Thanks
