    Help with countif on multiple worksheets

    First off, I'd like to thank everyone who's posted solutions on this forum. I've found help with 95 percent of my issues through the search. I have this one last problem that I haven't been able to nip.

    I have 6 worksheets. I have 52 rows that contain names and a column which contains numbers. I need to tally the total for each cell with a number in all six worksheets and show the name from the row AND the number from the totalled columns if they're greater than a certain other number.

    I made a simple layout of how my worksheets look. Each one looks like this and has the same format.


    name 32
    name 23
    name 25
    name 25
    name 23

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    jeremed,

    Presumably, a given name isn't in the same row in the various sheets, so the
    formula has to find it. A messy combination of SUM and six VLOOKUP
    functions could do this. You'd have to make 52 of them. It's generally
    better to keep similar data in one sheet, using an additional column to
    differentiate them (instead of separate sheets). Take a look at "Data
    across multiple sheets" at http://www.smokeylake.com/excel/excel_truths.htm

    The same names are actually in each place on the worksheets. I read your article. I will retool my sheet, but later. Thanks for your help.
