I hope this is the right board, so here goes...


Hi all,

I know this has been covered many times over, but I just can't seem to
figure it out. I have an excel file that contains 93 tabs, all with the
same type of information, and I need to take the information from each
tab and combine it so that it has all the information from all 93 tabs
in one.....without having to copy and paste each tab, can someone
please help me with step by step instructions as to how to accomplish
this. I have looked at the posts where there are macros and such, but
I'm afraid that goes way over my head.

I am working on a project with a deadline of Friday and this
information would be EXTREMELY appreciated.

Please help before I tear what little hair I have left.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

=sum(Tab1:Tab93!c6) c6 being the cells of all 93 tabs being summed.
You can then copy this formula throughout the page.

I hope thats clear.

Thanks so much for the quick reply!
Can you please elaborate on the "c6" cell. I just want to make sure
that I have it right...each of the 93 tabs have different amount of
information, so would this then copy the information from each and
paste in the new worksheet?. If so, do I have to set a range and how?

Sorry...I actually signed up for an excel course at a local college so
that I can better understand.

It is not copying and pasting, rather it is a formula summing those
cells. So if any of those cells change, your summary changes as well.

Rather than typing the formula, you can manually do it. It is really
much easier to do than to try and explain. But I will try.

Lets say you have tabs 1 through 93. And you are adding a summary
page. On the summary page, whichever cell you want your first sum,
type =sum( and then hold down your shift key, and on the bottom
click on tab 1 and then tab 93. (You should then see all 93 tabs
highlighted) then close your parenthesis ")" and enter. This will then
have summed all the cells on those 93 tabs.

Wow - sorry about that. Not sure why it posted 3 times. I obviously
did something wrong.

Bob,

I'm trying but when I hit enter, and error message comes up. It's a box
that says formula contains errors. Maybe this will help: each tab
contains a name of a customer on one cell, the next is address, the
next is the city, etc.

Hope this helps you in helping me!
