I like to make a "sandwich" out of my worksheets.

I'd insert two worksheets--one to the far left called "Start" and one to the far
right named "End".

Then I could use a formula like:

=sum('start:end'!N2)
to add up all the worksheets that are between those two "pieces of bread".

The cell with the formula would go in a worksheet that's not inside the
sandwich.

Do not put your plate worksheet (the worksheet that contains the cell with the
formula) inside the sandwich.

Put it to the far right or to the far left.

Take a look at this screencap:

The formula is on the Summary sheet. The Summary sheet is outside of the
"sandwich". Any sheets *within* the sandwich will be included in the sum.

And just to add to Biff's response...

It's a neat way to play what-if games. You can drag any of those "meat"
worksheets outside the sandwich and its data won't be included in the summary
formulas.
