Summing Across Worksheets
I'm trying to sum totals from half a dozen worksheets into a totals
worksheet. The various totals are located in different cells within their respective worksheets. Why I try pasting the formula I get Name and Value errors. This is an edited down version of the formula: =SUM(A-B!D47:F-J!D12) where A-B and F-J are the names of the worksheets. Anyone know why this doesn't work? Thanks in advance... |

It doesn't work because you're making up the wrong syntax.

Thanks, that did it! I take it the quotes are there so that Excel wouldn't
think the sheet names were functions?

Appreciate the feed-back.
The "+" and the "-" are the few symbols that XL allows in sheet names. I think XL might treat them the same as <spaces, which do need the single quotes. -- Regards, RD ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "tonysoprano" wrote in message ...
