How do I count a named range for a specific word or acronym?

I am trying to count how many times the acronym "SD" shows up for all
worksheets in my file and on a specific row.

Hi!

One way:

Create a list of all the sheet names. Give this list a defined name,say,
List.

Then, to count instances of SD on every sheet in row 10:

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&List&"'!10:10"),"SD"))
