[mso] Re: Three dimensional formula

One variation is to add an empty sheet before the first sheet to be summed 
(Sheet1), and another empty sheet after the last sheet to be summed (Sheet160). 
If you named these Start and Finish, respectively, then the formula on your 
summary sheet to add all the C3 cells would be:
 
=SUM(Start:Finish!C3)
 
If you add another sheet, such as Sheet161, it will automatically be included 
in the SUM formula as long as it is between the Start and Finish sheets.
 
Hope this helps,
 
Hutch

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
