Sum
I would like to sum a common cell, by defined name, accross a set of
different sheet. The cell name is the same, with a scope to the sheet only. Example: sheet1!total + sheet2!total + sheet3!total... and so on I want to be able to do this without having to type in the above, but have been unable to determine how to get something like the following to work: Example: =sum(sheet1!:sheet2!,total) I would be most grateful if anyone can show me how to do this. Thanks. |

Sum
Whew! Someone else may know another way - are lots of things you can do with
Excel that I've never heard of yet - but this sounds to me like a call for you to write your own worksheet function in VBA, if you're willing to take that on. It's not that hard, but if you've never done any programming it does require learning a new skill. Or do you already know how? --- "Sum problem" wrote: I would like to sum a common cell, by defined name, accross a set of different sheet. The cell name is the same, with a scope to the sheet only.

Tricky Sum problem
For clarification on this problem let me add that the cell location is not
the same on each sheet, but the name is the same. Although I would enjoy the challenge I don't have the time to pick up the necessary skills to program this - I'm hoping that there is a way to put a formula together that will simply sum all cells with the defined name "Total" from each sheet.

How have you defined the sheet level names? Like this: !$A$1 Well, when you refer to a sheet level name that is the same across many sheets it only applies to the name that corresponds to the active sheet. AFAIK there is no way to do this.

Sum
Since the data is not always the same, the cell location with a sum total
will not be the same, thus the sheet level name for that value "Total", so sheet1!:sheet2!a1 will not work. Thanks. "T. Valko" wrote: The cell name is the same, with a scope to the sheet only.

Sum
Can you even reference sheet-specific names in another sheet at all?
Maybe you should duplicate all these sums in another cell of each sheet, same cell on each sheet. Say, at the top of the column instead of at the bottom. Then you can use a simple 3D reference, no named range necessary. Make the Text Color white if you don't want to see it. Or, if the data is at least structured the same, make each Sheet long enough to cover your needs and put the totals at the bottom of the range in the same cell. You can hide rows to avoid printing/scrolling extra rows. Otherwise, if it is fewer than 30 sheets, I think you'll just have to enter each cell or name as an argument in your SUM. |
