can i.. do a COUNT through mutiple worksheets?
 

i have a workbook that i add workshhets to daily, one worksheet for
everyday. i would like to be able to have a reporting page that would
go out to all of the pages included in the workbook and look at 1
column (the same column on all pages) and come back with a count for
cells that have a particular text string.

*running total*
i.e. page '12jan' and page '13jan' both have column J that has one of
three entries (ss, swc, np) on my 'reports' page i would like to see
the running total of all rows that have "swc" in column J on all pages.

since i add sheets everyday i would like to add a wildcard so that the
formula on the reports page automaticaly includes the new sheets.

*weekly totals*
i would like also to break this down by week. or perhaps it would
actually be per day. i would like to show "week1" and the next cell
show a count of rows that had "swc" for '12jan:17jan'.
if this could be self replicating that would be nice.....

any thoguhts?

Here is one way. It doesn't take wildcards like you ask, you have to
maintain a list of all the worksshets in M1:Mn, so any new sheet name must
be added here

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT(OFFSET(M1,,,COUNTA(M1 :M1000),1)&"!J1:J1000"),"s
wc"))

For the 'weekly totals', try the following..

Let A1 contain your start date, such as 2006/1/12.

Let Column B contain the week number, such as 1 for 'Week 1', 2 for
'Week 2', and so on.

Then, enter the following formula in C1 and copy down:

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT(TEXT(ROW(INDIRECT($A$ 1+B1*7-7&":"&$A$1+B1*7-
7+5)),"ddmmm")&"!J1:J1000"),"swc"))

Hope this helps!
