Default formula question...

I have a workbook in excel with four sheets, i have the same format of
columns in each of the sheets except for the last one. The last one i am
trying to make be the total of the others. this brings me to my question, how
can i make the columns in the final sheet be updated with whats put in the
other sheets?

My first four sheets are my salesmens statistics, each sheet being a
different salesman. I want the final sheet to be a total sheet that adds
copys the info from the other sheets to the final. For instance i have a
column for revenue, organization name, potential revenue, etc, on each sheet
including the final sheet. i want the final sheet to stay updated as the
other sheets are updated.

PLEAS HELP!!!

In your 4th sheet, you could use a formula like this, in B2 for
example:

=Sheet1!B2 + Sheet2!B2 + Sheet3!B2

which will add all the B2 cells from those three sheets. This can be
copied to other cells to add the data from those cells. A slightly
shorter version is:

=SUM(Sheet1:Sheet3!B2)

as long as the sheets appear in that order in your workbook.

Hope this helps.

Matthew,

The following formulas are probably the easiest ways to sum several sheets.

Assuming "revenue" (for example) is column G, 1st summarized the total for
"revenue" at the top of each sheet in G1.

Use one of the following to summarize all 4 sheets for "revenue".

=Sheet1!G1+Sheet2!G1+Sheet3!G1+Sheet4!G1
or =SUM(Sheet1!G1,Sheet2!G1,Sheet3!G1,Sheet4!G1)

Do the same steps for the others.
