    Lookup across multiple tabs

    I am looking to for a formula that will lookup across multiple tabs. I have done something very similar using the following formula:

    =SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&Tabs&"'!J:J"),$A5,INDIRECT("'"&Tabs&"'!L:L")))

    using the above as an example for what i am trying to accomplish 'Tabs' are the tab references I am looking at; A5 is the reference number i am looking up, Column J is the list of reference numbers in every tab, Column L is the string of text I want to pull out.

    Re: Lookup across multiple tabs

    Hi Cleric,

    The topic is called 3D when it goes across multiple sheets. Read about the 3D functions that are available in Excel at:
    https://support.office.com/en-us/art...2-787d0bc888b6
    I don't see SumProduct() in this list.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Hi Marvin, The formula in my example works to make a sumif into a 3D formula. I am not trying to sumif, I am trying to lookup to pull a string of text.
