I have a cell (B7) on multiple worksheets (Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 3, Sheet 4, and Sheet 5).

In a cell (A3) on Sheet 6, I want to know how many cells B7 in Sheet 1-Sheet 5 have a value in them.

This is what I wrote, but got an error:

=COUNTIF('Sheet 1:Sheet 5'!B7,">0")

How should it be written?
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Sort by date Sort by votes
This should work for you

Somewhere on your sheet add the sheet names and then create a range and call in sheetlist and then for the formula

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&sheetlist&"'!B7"),">0"))

I apologize that these questions seem duplicated. They are actually different parts of the spreadsheet. I am very new to this more advanced stuff and haven't quite figured out how to apply some functions with similar cirteria.

Jeff,
Thanks for your reply. I tried the formula you suggested:
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&sheetlist&"'!B7"),">0"))

That returns "TRUE" in the cell. I am trying to get it to just show me how many (total number) of the B7 cells have any data input into them.

Click to expand...

How do you manage to get TRUE from this formula is hard to understand for it can only either yield an error value, 0, or an integer > 0.

If you want to count any data, try...

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&sheetlist&"'!B7"),"<>"))
