Yes, you can reference text cells in other sheets (like sheet1!B2) just like
you can reference numeric cells.

Say if I am surveying 10 people and am asking 5 questions of each and those
questions have a text answer (i.e. a sentence or phrase).

1. In Excel 2000, can a master sheet be created listing the text answers to
Question 1 from the Excel sheets of the 10 different people? I know this is
done with numeric data but I need to know for text.

2. If Excel 2000 can't, how about 2007?
