    Adding multiple spreadsheets

    I have a worksheet with colors and materials. Colors make up the colums and material make up the rows with sales data in the cels. I am trying to add all of my colors and material together on one spreadsheet.

    I have 5 spreadsheets with different colors and materials and want to make one master spreadsheet with totals of all 5 spreadsheets.

    For example I have the color red in leather and on 3 of the 5 spreadsheets I have sales of 10,15,13 so I would want the total sheet to go and look at all 5 spreadsheets and give me a total of 38 for red leather, any idea on the formula? I tried an index match, but it became too long and cumbersome.

    Thanks

    Hi,
    I believe I can do this, attach a zipped copy of the workbook so I can work on it.

    In sheet
    2008 Summary Hours by Account
    cell G6
    enter this formula
    =SUM('Jan 08:dec 08'!G6)
    this will sum all the G6 ranges in the sheets from Jan 08 to dec 08
    if you add another sheet between those sheets the formula will include the new sheet

    Your formula is too basic, I know I can sum each column, looking for a formula that will allow me to sort the main page as well as add/delete names with low maintenance. The index match formula I created will work but there seems to be a limit in excel and I am not able to repeat the formula 12 times, but with the index match, I can sort the main page and data integrity remains intact, with your formula the data integrity is compromised.

    I figured it out, I used 4 sheets named quarter and totalled the subsequent months in each sheet, on the summary sheet I used INDEX MATCH, I am able to sort, add/delete names, etc,,,,

    IF you know of a formula that would work for 12 sheets vs 4 let me know, thanks.
