I am working on license inventory. Each sheet is a computer with software
listed. I'm currently using a COUNTIF statement but how do I get the COUNTIF
to span across 2 or more worksheets to give me a total of the software
installed on all the computers?

Hi
provide some more details:
- how are the sheets named
- what column do you want to count

The sheets are named by a person's name. Example: Joe, John
The columns I want to count are operating systems. Example: XP
Professional, Windows 2000 Professional, etc.

Hi
1. On your summary sheet create a list with your worksheet names. e.g.
put them in the range X1:X3
2. try the following formula to count all occurences of the string
'software1' in the range A1:A100 on each of these sheets
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'" & X1:X3 & "'!A1:A100),"software1"))
