Data from diff sheets to one common sheet

[Guest]

Hi!!
I have this one workbook, i call the "mothership"... Now i have a few dozen
other workbooks which represent individual cities., for e.g "mumbai" "new
york" and so on... I prepare invoices in each of these city workbooks and
then move the respected worksheet to the "mothership" workbook, so that i
have one place where all the invoices (worksheets) from different cities
(workbooks) are in one place namely my "mothership" workbook. Now in this
"mothership" workbook of mine i have created an "index" worksheet which gives
me information of only a few selected items., say, invoice no., name of the
customer, the total value, the products bought by her etc.. But to get these
i have to copy each individual item., literarily (like a donkey!!) to the
index worksheet. Now what i am hoping to get from you ever so smart and
generous folks [am not buttering ] is a way whereby the moment i move a
worksheet from say the newyork workbook to my mothership workbook, the data
from there automatically gets updated into my index..... pls pls pls pls pls
pls pls....... helppppppppppp meeeeeeeeeee!!! ((

Hey Pete!! I found an alternate way of doing what i wanted to... Tried it out
in bits and pieces and i think its good enough to suit my needs.....

Sub getsheetnames()
x = 1
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(x, 2) = ws.Name + "!"
x = x + 1
Next ws
End Sub

And along with this, =INDIRECT(B1 & "A1").

I guess you would be familiar with this... You know i never expected anyone
to even consider helping me out.... Thanks a ton once again... )
