Automatically Reference Tab Name
I have a spreadsheet with 50 tabs - each one numbered 1 to 50, so that the
first tab is named '1', the second is named '2' and so on. On a summary spreadsheet, I have formulas pulling the same cell (A44) from each tab, so that: the formula in cell A1 looks like this ='1'!A$44 and the formula in cell B1 looks like this ='2'!A$44 and so on. Is there a way to get Excel to "feed" the tab names to the formula without the help of Visual Basic. For example, I would like to list the tab names in the spreadsheet (1 to 50) and have a formula in the cells that would incorporate the tab names. Tab Formula 1 ='1'!A$44 2 ='2'!A$44 3 ='3'!A$44 Does that make sense? If so, is there any way to do this? |

if you the digit 1 in cell A1, then B1 could be

If you want a list enter this and copy down
=ROW(A1)&"!a44" if you want to sum the cells =sum(1:50!a44) -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "sstexas" wrote in message ...

His gave you the value using indirect. I assumed you only wanted a list....

However, Duke Carey's formula worked perfectly.
