adding several worksheet cells onto a main worksheet

[Guest]

Hello, I asked this question a few days ago and someone answered me and it
worked but by looking at what I needed it seems to be more extensive than
antisapated so I need assistance. Ok, I have a workbook with several
worksheets in it, each worksheet is set up the same. I want to have a main
worksheet that will draw totals from all my other worksheets. My worksheets
are named by date and the first being (Week Ending 2-26-6) and the last as of
now is (Week Ending 9-24-2006) someone gave me this for my function
(=sum(firstsheet:lastsheet!a1). It works if my sheets are named sheet1 and so
on but like stated above thay are not. I tried using =Sum(Week Ending
2-26-6:Week Ending 9-24-2006!L10,R10,Z10,AF10,AL10,AR10) but it just gives me
an error! I just want a total rome these cells from my starting worksheet to
my ending worksheet. Please help....

Thanks!
Chad

A) This sums the A30 cells in all sheets: =SUM('sheet a:sheet d'!A30)
B) This sums A30+B30: =SUM('sheet a:sheet d'!A30) + SUM('sheet a:sheet
d'!B30)
C) This sums a range: =SUM('sheet a:sheet d'!A30:A50)

Could you sum L10, R10, Z10, AF10, AL10, AR10 into one cell on each sheet
and use form (A) above to consolidate?
best wishes

Thanks for the info it is really helpfull but, I do need to sum it all onto
one worksheet. What name do I use in the formula? sheet a ect or what I named
the sheet like Week Ending ect.? When I get that total onto my main worksheet
I have to do other functions besides that to get the numbers Im looking for.
