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).

Right-click in A4 and choose the Transpose option under the Paste Options. Transpose is the fancy Excel word for “turn the data sideways.” I transpose a lot. But I use  Alt+E ,  S ,  E ,  Enter  to transpose instead of the right-click. There is a problem, though. Transpose is a one-time snapshot of the data. What if you have formulas in the horizontal data? Is there a way to transpose with a formula? The first way is a bit bizarre. If you are trying to transpose 12 horizontal cells, you need to select 12 vertical cells in a single selection. Start typing a formula such as  =TRANSPOSE(C2:N2)  in the active cell but do not press Enter. Instead, hold down  Ctrl+Shift  and then press  Enter . This puts a single array formula in the selected cells. T...
