    'Correct' way for multiple calculation from other worksheets?

    Hi there,

    Difficult task for me but not for some of you out there I guess...

    I have a spreadsheet that is made up of 5 worksheets;

    1. Worksheet 'Percentages' H19 this is where the formula that I seek will
    reside!

    2. Worksheet 'Small Parts' contains 2 separate cells [F3 & L3] that each
    contain a number that have to be added together and entered into the above
    'Percentages' H19

    3. Worksheet 'Quality Critical Parts' also contain 2 separate cells as above
    [F3 & L3] that each contain a number that has to be added to the number
    obtained in 2. above as a sort of running total and entered into
    'Percentages' H19

    3. Worksheet 'Tools' again contains 2 separate cells [D3 & D23] that contain
    a number that has to be added together and then added to the running total
    already in 'Percentages' H19

    4. Worksheet 'Other' contains a further 2 separate cells [F3 & F26] that
    once again each contain a number that has to be added together and then
    added to the running total in 'Percentages' H19 above.


    For example;

    Small Parts [F3=1] [L3=1]
    These are added together to give [2] and this result is displayed in
    Percentages H19

    Quality Critical Parts [F3=2] [L3=2]
    These are added together to give [4] and this new result [6] is displayed in
    Percentages H19

    Tools [D3=5] [D23=5]
    Added together gives [10] this together with the result above [6] gives [16]
    now displayed in Percentages H19

    Other [F3=10] [F26=10]
    Added together gives [20] which is then added to [16] above to result in
    [36] now displayed in Percentages H19


    Now the formula below seems to work but is there a 'better', quicker, more
    efficient or 'recognized' way of achieving the same result?

    =SUM(Small Parts!F3+Small Parts!L3+Quality Critical Parts!F3+Quality
    Critical Parts!L3+Tools!D3+Tools!D23+Other!F3+Other!F26)

    You could sub-total on each worksheet - this would tidy-up your final formula - but the bottom line is you can't add up a number of cells unless you identify them!
