numbers in cell A14 for all 20 tabs.Instead of going to

What if that does not work? I only have two tabs and typed the formula
exactly how it appears below and it is still not working. Instead it is
saying #NAME?

any help is appreciated.

Hi Tony

the formula supplied by Jason assumes that your sheets are called
Sheet1:Sheet20
so you'll need to replace the Sheet1 and Sheet20 with the actual names of
your sheets - note, if you have spaces in your sheet names you'll need to do
it like this:

=SUM('my first sheet:my second sheet'!A14)

note the apostraphe ' before the start of the first sheet name and at the
end of the second sheet name

also it's not easy to see but theres a colon : between the sheet names

Cheers

Julie,
Thanks. Here is how I wrote it: =sum('sheet1:sheet2'!E11)

Now it is saying #REF!

I really appreciate the help.

I got my answer. I feel really stupid here. But my tabs actually had names
as opposed to "sheet" once I filled the names in on the formula it worked.
Thanks for your help.
