need to extract data from a few worksheets to another

[prem]

Hi there I am trying to create a workbook that can monitor the progress of
students' results.

As of now I have managed to create worksheets using the "list" function.
Each worksheet is a list of the stundents in my class, a few other fields and
a column listing their percentage for a certain test.
Each worksheet has the data for the percentage scored for one particular
test. Thus each worksheet contains the grades of the same students but for
separate tests.

What I would like to know is how can I extract the results from each
worksheet for each student and place them in a separate worksheet such that I
can monitor the progress of each student.

For example, say I have a student Tom. In worksheet 1, his grade is 50%. In
worksheet 2, his grade is 65% and in worksheet 3, his grade is 71%. How do I
extract these individual grades from worksheets 1 to 3 and place them in one
row in a new worksheet? I hope that this can be an automated process such
that when I key in the results for the individual grades in worksheets one to
three for Tom, the are automatically filled in as well in the new worksheet.

I hope I am being clear in my description of my problem.

This will work *if* your sheets are using the XL default names (Sheet1,
Sheet2 ... etc.).

Assume you're polling B1 from each sheet:

=INDIRECT("Sheet"&COLUMNS($A:A)&"!B1")

And copy across as many columns as you have sheets.

This creates links to each sheet, where the "Main" sheet will display the
real time values in B1.

Hi there thank you for your prompt reply. I have tried out this code.

So what I have are Sheet1 and Sheet2 where I input data and Sheet3 as my
so-called "main" sheet.

However when I use you code, it only seems to display values from Sheet1 and
not Sheet2 for some reason. Am I supposed to edit the code in any way? I have
already edited it to poll data from F2. I used
"=INDIRECT("Sheet"&COLUMNS($A:A)&"!F2")".

The formula will increment the sheet name automatically as you copy it
*across* columns, along a row.

I suggested this formula because I thought that you had many sheets to poll,
and this would save having to revise a single formula as many times as you
had sheets to look at.

OR ... did you mention 2 sheets only as a test?

The formula can also be configured to automatically adjust cell references
as well as sheet references as it's copied either down or across.

Post back with any additional questions.
