Default How can I do a lookup to a specific cell on multiple worksheets?

I have a summary sheet where I want to lookup a number that is referenced the
same on multiple sheets. I desire to have the summary look to particular tab
names and return the amount in that particular cell.
Any ideas please?

=Sheet1!A10

The situation is more complex. I am trying to create a summary sheet that
looks up results contained in a specific cell across approx. 100 sheets. I
need to lookup based on a specific reference number that is contained on both
sheets.

I am currently working on the TREED function using either VLOOKUP or
INDEX,MATCH formulas.

30 sheets that are all templates with different information on each sheet but

Hi, Debra!
Let me relay the help that I got. It did work with a little tweaking.
I am sending the thread of the conversation that worked for me. Okay?
Peo Sjoblom is a great resource.
Don't forget to go through it backwards!
XXXXX
I don't see any problems with that, if you would have asked that is what I
would have suggested..
I always use dummy sheets when doing things like this (I even put one at the
start as well)

=VLOOKUP(D6,THREED(Start:Stop!$J$19:$K$19),2,0)

The zero at the end tells it to look for an exact match while omitting it or
using 1 (or TRUE for 1 and FALSE for 0)
will look for the next largest value that is less than the lookup value,
also the array must be sorted in ascending order
so the first sheet must have the lowest value etc. By using 0 or FALSE it
can be sorted in any order
Good luck

I tried this and discovered a few problems that were self inflicted. I
rectified them as follows:
My VLOOKUP formula did not contain the ,0) at the end. I am not familiar
with that!

I believe the problem with the file structure arose where there was no
worksheet M305. This made it create a link to look in the currect

directory
for a file that did not exist. To fix this where an M305 sheet is not

needed,
I intend to create a hidden sheet named "stop" as the last sheet and refer

to
it at the end within my formula.
=VLOOKUP(D6,THREED('M010:Stop'!$J$19:$K$19),2,0)
If you see any danger in theis approach, please let me know!
Your help is so very much appreciated, Peo. Thank you very much!

or are you using this from another workbook

=VLOOKUP(D6,THREED('[test.xls]M010:M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2,0)

replace test.xls with the name of the workbook

The other workbook needs to be open or you'll get a REF error when you

try
to calculate it

I am assuming here that the sheets are named M010:M305

Good morning, Peo.
I am having difficulty.
Following your lead, I tried:
=VLOOKUP(D6,THREED('M010:M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2)

It immediately changes to
=VLOOKUP(D6,THREED('M010:[M305]M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2)


Upon copying down my list of search criteria, I get the following:
=VLOOKUP(D6,THREED('M010:[M305]M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2) = 208,000
=VLOOKUP(D7,THREED('M010:[M305]M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2) =208,000
=VLOOKUP(D8,THREED('M010:[M305]M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2) =5,124
=VLOOKUP(D9,THREED('M010:[M305]M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2) =5,124
There are no worksheets is this particular workbook that the reference

can
search, so it is returning the previous result.

I tried:


=INDEX(THREED('M010:M305'!$J$19:$K$19),MATCH(D6,TH REED('M010:M305'!$J$19)0),
2)

It immediately changes to:


=INDEX(THREED('M010:[M305]M305'!$J$19:$K$19),MATCH(D6,THREED('M010:[M305]M30
5'!$J$19)0),2)

but, happily, it does give me the correct results. However, upon

saving
and
closing, the cells contain:


=INDEX(THREED('G:\TAX\2004\ZZZZ\M010:[M399]M399'!$J$19:$K$19),MATCH(D6,THREE
D('G:\TAX\2004\ZZZZ\M010:[M399]M399'!$J$19),0),2)

This is not a valid reference to the worksheet, but only to the

directory
containing that worksheet.

I do appreciate your help with this, Peo!
