Can I pull sum from one workbook into another?

If you want to know HOW, click in your destination cell, type the = sign, go
to your source sheet, click in the source cell.
The formula will show something like =[Book1]Sheet4!$A$1
Enter to accept that formula.

I have two seperate spreadsheets. Spreadsheet A has a summary page that I
would like to have include a total that is located on spreadsheet B. Can it
be done and do you know how to do that?

I tried that, but it doesn't work. If I want to link information on a
different tab in the same workbook it works, but not on a different workbook.
Any ideas?

Did you include the ' and the [ as needed? It would be best to type =SUM(
then highlight the desired range of cells to sum.

It would not work if you have your two workbooks open in separate instances
of Excel.

Close one instance and open both workbooks in a single instance of Excel.
