You can create formulas to gather data from multiple worksheets, either with a lot of painstaking worksheet and cell selection steps or with techniques that let you select multiple sheets efficiently. 3D formulas are powerful, easy to set up, and are easily expandable as you add more worksheets.
- [Voiceover] In this movie, we're looking at a…different workbook, 02-Regional Sales.…It's got four sheets named after states,…the California sheet is visible at first.…As I click the Texas sheet,…notice that the layout is identical.…Numbers are different, same thing with Florida and New York.…And on sheet one here we might want to get…some totals from those sheets.…So for cell B2, I want to get the California total.…If you've not worked with formulas…that gather data from different sheets,…either from the same workbook or different workbooks,…keep in mind you can write these very easily…and nearly always you do not want to be typing sheet names.…
I'm going to type equal and click the California sheet,…and then click cell F6, that has…the total in it that I want and Return.…The formula as I double-click cell B2 looks like this.…Sheet names are always followed by exclamation points…but don't type these, it's just an opportunity for a…typing mistake and it's much easier to click.…I'll do one for Texas, equal, click the Texas sheet,…
