    Easy way to update multiple Sum Formulas

    Hello

    I have a spreadsheet I use to record jobs my Dept works on.
    One Worksheet shows totals from the current month.
    At the end of every month I have to update it to show totals from following month.
    Example: =SUM('ACME'!V48)
    It's pretty simple as all I'm changing is the last two numbers within the above sum and all cells pull from the same row.
    However... I have to change it in 4 places for each of 30 customers.


    Any thoughts or direction would be most appreciated.


    Thanks

    Scotty

    Maybe use find and replace?

    At the end of every month I have to update it to show totals from following month.
    Example: =SUM('ACME'!V48)
    Since you are just referencing a single cell you really do not need to use the SUM function. All you need is ='ACME'!V48

    To avoid making manual updates you could possibly adapt this method.

    =OFFSET('ACME'!$V$1,0,0,COUNTA('ACME'!$V:$V),1)
    or
    =INDEX('ACME'!$V:$V,COUNTA('ACME'!$V:$V))

    Assuming row-1 is a header row and all rows below contain numeric data, the above formula will count the number of filled cells in column-V and return the value from the last cell in the range.
