Formula (Excel 2003)

[Newfie809]

Hi there,

I am looking for help with a spreadsheet formula,

I have 54 Worksheets and on Line C6 of each worksheet is the Description and
on
E6 of each worksheet is a Name. I would like set up another worksheet that
will list the information on E6 from all the other worksheets to one
locations.

Sheet 1
C6 D6 E6
Manager Bill Taylor
Assistant Manager Brenda Davidson

Sheet 2
C6 D6 E6
Manager Eric Bradley
Assistant Manager Monica Davis

There is a lot of other information on each worksheet, but what I am looking
for is to have the names of all the Managers from the 54 worksheets on one
worksheet, and also the names of all the Assistant Manager from the 54
worksheets on one worksheet. Is this possible. Thank you

Newfie

In E6 of Sheet1 thru Sheet4 I have these names: Brown, Smith, Jones
On summary sheet in A3 (but it could be in any cell) I entered
=INDIRECT("Sheet"&ROW(A1)&"!E6")
I copied this down the column to get
Brown
Smith
Jones

It get a bit more complex if the sheets do not have the names Sheet1, Sheet2
.....
best wishes

Thank you for the information, I see what you mean if the sheets have a
different name which they do. I will keep working on it. Thanks again.

If the sheet name end with a number all is OK
=INDIRECT("'My Datasheet'"&ROW(A1)&"!E6")
that is =INDIRECT( double-quote single-quote My Datasheet single-quote
double quote &ROW(A1)&"!E6")

Otherwise list the sheet names in A1:A10 (for example)
In B1 =INDIRECT(A1&"!E6")
copy down column

Use this macro to get a list of sheets into column A of Summary sheet.

Sub CreateListOfSheetsOnSummarySheet()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For I = 1 To Worksheets.Count
With Worksheets("Summary")
Set ws = Worksheets(I)
.Cells(I, 1).Value = ws.Name
End With
Next I
End Sub

In B1 enter =INDIRECT(A1&"!C6") and copy down.

In C1 enter =INDIRECT(A1&"!E6") and copy down.

Hi,

You may also try this. Go to Insert > Name > Define and in the name box,
type sheets. in the refers to box, type
=TRANSPOSE(GET.WORKBOOK(1))&T(NOW()).

Now select a range of cells (select as many cells as there are sheets) and
enter the following array formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)

=MID(sheets,FIND("]",sheets)+1,255).

This will give you all the sheet names in the workbook. Please note that
this will ask you to Enable macros - click on yes.
