Excel - Consolidation of several sheets in a workbook

R

Razi Malik

I have a group of identical worksheets. I would like to
group the sum totals of all. Normal way is to keep adding
by click particular cell on each sheet but I guess there
is a better way as indicated in the help menu of excel.
But it does not work. see screen dump which is exactly the
way it is described by excel

=sum('sheet 1:'sheet 4'!c8)


Can someone tell me how to go about and what is wrong in
the formula that I have entered.

This is what excel help menu gives.

For example, to combine the data in cell B3 from
worksheets Sheet 2 through Sheet 7 inclusive, you could
type =SUM(Sheet2:Sheet7!B3). If the data to consolidate is
in different cells on different worksheets, enter a
formula such as this: =SUM(Sheet3!B4, Sheet4!A7, Sheet5!
C5). To enter a reference such as Sheet3!B4 in a formula
without typing, type the formula up to the point where you
need the reference, click the worksheet tab, and then
click the cell.
