828674 2009-11-09 22:36:00 Probably simple but I am not sure how to do it
I Have a speadsheet with 5 duty rosters, each on its own Tab.
The sixth tab is a master that includes all 5 rosters.(They are not merged just displayed one under the other.
How do I link them so that any change to any of the 5 rosters automatically changes the master.
Hope this makes sense

828675 2009-11-09 22:42:00 I would just simply use the +sheet1:a1+sheet2:a1+sheet3:a1...etc and copy for the entire sheet 6 where data is expected... SolMiester (139)

Should get something like =Sheet1!$a$1. Any update to the other sheet will be reflected in sheet 6.

OK I entered = in blank Sheet 6 then went to sheet1. Sheet1 was shown after the= so I pressed enter. When I looked at sheet 6 all it had was the sheet name??
Also got a "Invalid Reference" Message

Tried Sol that but all I get on Sheet6 is the names of all the other sheets displayed in ref A1 and a message about a formula error

Eh??....the formula is an example, put a value in cel A1 of etc sheet.....the error may requre a =+ as the 1st 2 characters, the the value in cell A1 should be the dynamic total of the collective sum from all cells in the sheets at A1...
