Default Formula on adding data with different workbook

=SUM('Sheet 1:Sheet 2'!A1)

one popular technique is to insert an empty sheet on either side of Sheet 1
and Sheet 2 (call them First and Last). then use:

=SUM(First:Last!A1)

then you can include/exclude sheets in the calculation by moving them
between the First and Last sheets and you have a visual reminder of what
sheets are being included in your formula.

I may have made that more difficult than it needed be. In sheet 3 type "="
w/o the quotes, then use your mouse to navigate to sheet1 cell a1, type "+"
w/o quotes, then navigate to sheet 2 cell a1 and hit enter. XL will take
care of entering the proper worksheet references.
