linking a formula with different worksheet

[Guest]

I have a worksheet created that has "D" to represent Dayshift and "N" to
represent the nightshift. I would like to create a formula in the total cell
on the nightshift worksheet that would indicate the total for both worksheets
that have any nightshift personnel. Here is the formula I have for the total
on both worksheets: countif(B5:B48,"N")*1 Now how do I add the night shift
on the other worksheet

The easiest way is to add a similar expression, just selecting the cells on
the other worksheet as you go. You'll probably end up with something like:

=countif(B5:B48,"N")*1+COUNTIF('OtherSheet'!B4:B48,"N")*1

HTH

I tried COUNTIF(B5:B36,"N")*1+COUNTIF(DAY!B5:B48,"N")*1
AND i TRIED COUNTIF(B5:B36,"N")+COUNTIF(DAY!B5:B48,"N") AND i TRIED
COUNTIF(NIGHT!B5:B36,"N")+COUNTIF(DAY!B5:B48,"N") AND ITS STILL NOT COUNTING
THE ONES ON THE DAY WORKSHEET.
HELP!

Here's my formula, which works fine. (I didn't make the list as long on
either worksheet, but that wouldn't affect whether it picked up the data or
not.)

=COUNTIF(B5:B30,"n")+COUNTIF(Day!B5:B30,"n")

You'll note I didn't multiply the counts by 1, but that shouldn't make a
difference either. If you're still having a problem, then paste your actual
formula into the response and we'll take a look at it.
