    Getting an average across multiple worksheets

    I have data for 20 individuals, each contained within their own worksheet (named 'P01', 'P02'...'P20').

    Within each sheet G2 is calculating the mean of B3:B5.

    I want to create a 21st 'overall' worksheet that will calculate each of the means created in G2 within each of the 20 individual worksheets.

    I've looked at a variety of solutions across the Internet but they don't seem to work. Would it be easier if the individual worksheets weren't named?

    Cheers

    Re: Getting an average across multiple worksheets

    Replace Sheet1 and Sheet20 with the actual names of your first and last sheet to be averaged:

    =AVERAGE(Sheet1:Sheet20!G2)

    You'll need to add ' ' around the sheet reference if your names have spaces, such as:

    =AVERAGE('Sheet 1:Sheet 20'!G2)
    Please 'Add Reputation' if my advice was helpful.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your quick response. Neither formula works when I am trying it I am afraid. As soon as I put the '!' in the formula seems to break down.

    Any advise would be much appreciated.

    Best wishes

    Try this
    =Average('P01:P20'!G2)
