automatic sum of tabs in worksheet
Posted by George on February 01, 2001 8:41 AM
say i have (3) identical P/Ls for departments A,B and C rolling up to total company. normally i would +a1 (A)+ a1 (B) and + a1 (C) to get total company. lets say now we just bought another company with departments D, E and F. is there an easier way instead of + departments A .....F. maybe a sum accross all worksheets so if i add new worksheets my total will continue to be updated.

Yes, take a look at the Excel Help Topic for
"3-D references".

Add two blank sheets. Name one of them "Start" and keep it as the first sheet in the workbook. Name the other one "End" and keep it as the last sheet.
To sum across all sheets use =SUM(Start:End!A1).
When adding new department sheets, insert them between sheets "Start" and "End".
