Peo,

I do plan on copying this formula from cell to cell because I have about 80
cells I have to do the same thing to....

The cell address part does not need to be there unless you want to be able to
copy down the formula and have the cell reference change as in A1 would
change to A2
The best way IMHO would be to put all sheet names unless you are using

name number where the name would stay the same but the number would change
like in Excel defaul sheetnames Sheet1, Sheet2 and so on, If we assume you
have unique sheet names, let's assume you have 10 uniques sheet names,
somewhere on the summary sheet (could be off view somewher like Z1:Z10) put
all sheet names.Then assume you want to count cell A1 for a "Y"
That formula would look like


=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$Z$1:$Z$10&"'!A1" ),"Y"))

Peo,

I am somewhat of a novice so pardon the lameness of these questions...

1) How do I put all of the sheet names in a range and rename it?
2) In your work around:
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'Sheet"&{1,2}&"'!"&C ELL("address",A1)),"0"))

In your range for worksheets, "sheet"&{1,2}&CELL("address",A1)...... can I
substitute the names I have given these worksheets for something here? And,
what does "address" refer to.....

Thanks for all your help.... my mind is bigger than my excel skills...
