Create Sum that gives summary of all Worksheets in Excel

You have a workbook with 12 worksheets, 1 for each month. All of the worksheets have the same number of rows and columns. You want a summary worksheet in order to total January through December.

To create it, use the formula =SUM(January:December!B4).

After sheets for January through December, a new Summary worksheet is shown. The formula =SUM(January:December!B4) is in B4.

Copy the formula to all cells and you will have a summary of the other 12 worksheets.

Copy the formula throughout the worksheet and you will have a report adding up the similar cell on the 12 monthly worksheets.

Caution

I make sure to never put spaces in my worksheet names. If you do use spaces, the formula would have to include apostrophes, like this: =SUM('Jan 2018:Mar 2018'!B4).

Choose the Right Data Visualization for Numbers

Only numbers - Showing Numbers in visuals Sometimes, just showing the data as text is the most effective way of conveying information. Single value chart When you just have one number, it’s best to just report it as-is. Plotting a single value graphically (such as with a bar or point) usually isn’t meaningful if there aren’t other values to compare it to. Single value with indicator An indicator compares the single value to a second number. This is often to compare a metric’s value between the current period and the previous period. Bullet chart Chart type comparing a single value to another number, often a benchmark rather than another data point. The single value is shown with a bar’s length, while comparison points are shown as shaded regions or a perpendicular line. Table Compares data points (rows) across multiple different attributes (columns). Usually sorted by an important or prominent attribute to improve utility.
