1. Sum Same Cell in Multiple Worksheets

Assuming that you have three worksheets (1-Q, 2-Q, 3-Q) in your workbook, and you need to calculate the total value of certain cells (B1) in these worksheets. However, those cells are in several different worksheets. How can I sum up those cell values into Total worksheet. You can use the following formula:

=SUM('1-Q'!B1, '2-Q'!B1, '3-Q'!B1)

Or

=SUM('1-Q:3-Q'!B1)

Type this formula into a blank cell and press Enter key on your keyboard. You would get the total value of the same cell in those three worksheets.

Or you can also do the following steps to achieve the same result of calculating the total value of same cell across those 3 worksheets:

#1 go to Total worksheet, and select one blank cell that is the target cell that you want to place the calculating result.

#2 type =SUM( into the cell B1.

#3 select the tab of the first worksheet 1-Q.

#4 Hold the Shift key and then select the sheet tab of the last sheet 3-Q to sum().
