[mso] Three dimensional formula

Larry,
This is called a "three dimensional" range, and to set it (if my old memory 
chips aren't failing me):

1. Go to the "summary Sheet and click on the cell to put in the formula and 
start your formula =Sum(
2. Click on Sheet 1 tab and select the cell (A2);
3. At the bottom, scroll to the last sheet (Sheet 160), hold down "Shift" + 
click on it's tab - this selects all the sheet tabs in between, then click on 
A2 and "enter key.

You should have "=Sum(Sheet1!A2:Sheet160!A2).

Subject: [mso] Excel 97-2000 sheet references.

Hi guys,
 
I am developing a spreadsheet with many individual sheets using the Excel  
97-2000 format. All but one of them contain individual data items in the same  
format. The lonely one is a summary sheet of the other sheets ... mostly  sums 
but may contain other functions, which will reference the  others.
 
Rather than saying 
       ='Sheet 1'!A2+'Sheet 2'!A2+'Sheet  3'!A2+'Sheet 4'!A2+ ... 'Sheet 
160'!A2
 
in the summary sheet which is rather tedeous, is there a way of specifying  a 
RANGE of sheets so that I could use something like
 
      =SUM('Sheet 1'!A2..'Sheet 160'!A2)
 
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, your my only hope
Larry
