Trying to sum count from multiple worksheets

When you say database do you literally mean Access or something within Excel? Sorry if that is a really dumb question!

No, not Access or anything outside Excel. I simply meant a dedicated Excel sheet with the column labels I suggested. Typically I put those labels on say row 5 which wil be the top of the 'database' then above the data in say row 2 I add the same labels in row 2. The users enter data in Row 3. Once a new record has been added in row 3 I provide a button to click which adds a new first row to the database and copies the new record to that new row. This provides a simple way of building the database. Once you have that then it's a simple matter to analyse your data in just about any way you want with a Pivot Table - or if you want with formulae in other cells on other sheets.
