I have 5 documents with 52 tabs, one per week.

I have another sheet where I want to consolidate the data.

Because the sheets represent week numbers I want to throw in a criteria referencing the sheet name so that I can just copy and paste the formula into the weekly tabs of my master sheet rather than having to retype them all.

For example if I have sheets 1:52 on all documents including master and I use

=INDEX('[LE2.xlsx]22'!$D$5:$D$6,1,1)

this will sum exactly what I need but only for this particular worksheet so it means I would have to change 22! to 23! to 24! for every calculation I need to make which would take too long.

What if I have the worksheet name '22' or '23' etc in cell I1, how can I use this to capture the data I need.

In other words, I want to search all worksheets for [LE2] for the one which matches the name in I1 then sum cell D5 from that tab. How do I do it?

I was thinking indirect but then I'm not sure how to write this up when its referencing an external source

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Anyone??

Code:
Option Explicit


Sub foo()
Dim ws As Worksheet


For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    ws.Range("D7").Formula = "=(A1)"    '<-- your formula here
Next


End Sub

The macro I posted should be inserted into a regular Module. You activate it by a command button placed on your worksheet.

Where you see "=(A1)" ... replace that portion with your formula ... "=INDEX('[LE2.xlsx]22'!$D$5:$D$6,1,1)" . Be certain to place your formula inside the quotes.

Because I don't have your workbook/s here to test with .... I am not certain if your formula will function as desired or if you will need to edit your formula.
