If you select all sheets in question (click 1st then hold down shift and
click last or click 1st and hold down ctrl while selecting different sheets),
now everything you put in one cell in one sheet will also be in the selected
sheets, right click a sheet tab to ungroup

hally,

If the text you want to appear is in, say, "Sheet1" cell A1, then simply
select all the cells where you want it to appear, type an = sign, then
navigate to sheet1 cell A1 and press Ctrl-enter. That will create a link,
and whenever you update cell A1, it will appear in all the cells with that
link formula.

HTH,

Or you could group all sheets except the top one, click on the cell and hit
= and then click on the cell on the top sheet that it corresponds to. Don't
forget to ungroup the sheets, though.
