Using Two Worksheets To Capature Data

[Guest]

I have one worksheet that is the master file/worksheet. I want to create/use
another worksheet that sums/counts data from the master file/worksheet. How
do I input formulas on the second worksheet to sum/count data from the first?

 

[Anne Troy]

Something like =Sum(Sheet1!A2:A65536) will sum all the values in column A,
assuming you're using Row 1 as the headings.

I copied the formula on to my second worksheet. I keep getting a popup
window titled "Update Values:Report" that wants a excel file name. Should
this happen? Both worksheets are in the same Excel file.

Show your formula, please, Roy. And give us the name of your worksheets.

=Sum(Sheet1!H24:H266)

Overall Report = This is the worksheet where the data is stored and pulled
from.
Totals = This is the worksheet where I want to capture totals.

The Overall Report worksheet is very detailed and lengthy. It goes to
column AF and new rows are added daily. I will be pulling data from various
columns to sum/count (numbers/text) on the Totals worksheet. Each column has
its own sum/count (no two columns interact.)

 

[Anne Troy]

Okay, so your formula should read (for a total of the values in column A of
the Overall Report worksheet):
=SUM('Overall Report'!A2:A65536)

Anne,

I must have entered something wrong. I just tried it again with the formula
you provided and it works. Not sure what I did the first time around.

Thank you very much.

Cool.
