countif in multi sheet

[ghost]

Greeting,

I have the following table in 5 sheets (Summary, Jan, Feb, March & Aprial).

Sheet (Jan)
Employee ID Name No. of Absent
1 John 1
2 aaa 2
3 bbb 1

Sheet (Feb)

Employee ID Name No. of Absent
1 John 3
2 aaa 1
3 bbb 4
..
..
..
..
So on.

What I want to do is how to summarize the above table as follows by using
sum if or count if:
Sheet (summary)
Employee ID Name Absent Total
1 John 4
2 aaa 3
3 bbb 5

Hi Muddan,

It does not work and I do not know how it works, there is no indecators for
sheets!!!!

 

[muddan madhu]

suppose u have 5 sheets and named as, say summary,Jan,Feb,Mar,April

in summay sheet - Cell G2:G5 mention the sheet names. (eg.,
Jan,Feb,Mar....)

in all sheets data are in Col A, Col B, Col C I hope.

formula

Try this alternative, no need for the values in G2:...

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&TEXT(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),{1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12},1),"mmm")&"'!B2:B4"),B2,
INDIRECT("'"&TEXT(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),{1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12},1),"mmm")&"'!C2:C4")))

Hi, Bob

Thanks but the data is not "DATE". help is still needed.

You'll need to explain that remark, it passed about 5,000 ft above me.
