    Question Sum top 'n' numbers from across multiple sheets

    Hi all, I'm trying to calculate the top 10 numbers from across 3 sheets.
    I have the following formula on one of my sheets but it's only calculating the top 10 of that sheet in the cell range. I want to get the top ten from across the sheets (not the top 10 in each sheet)...is this possible? If it helps, the range would be the same across all three sheets - W3:W27.
    Current formula: =SUM(LARGE(W3:W27,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}))

    Welcome to the forum.

    Try this:

    =SUM(BYCOL(HSTACK(Sheet1:Sheet3!W3:W27),LAMBDA(c,SUM(LARGE(c,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))))

    Sum top 10 across the worksheets, please try:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =SUM(TAKE(SORT(TOCOL(HSTACK(Sheet1:Sheet3!A1:A26))),-10))

    Re: Sum top 'n' numbers from across multiple sheets

    Ah! I misread the opening post - this, then:

    =SUM(LARGE(VSTACK(Sheet1:Sheet3!A1:A26),{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}))

    Re: Sum top 'n' numbers from across multiple sheets

    You need to change the sheet references. Something like this:

    =SUM(TAKE(SORT(TOCOL(HSTACK('Circuit 1:Mobility Aid'!A1:A26))),-10))

    If you can't get it to work, attach a sample workbook, NOT a picture.

    Re: Sum top 'n' numbers from across multiple sheets

    If there are spaces in the sheet names you need quotes.

    Please try ....HSTACK('Circuit 1:Mobility Aid'!W3:W27)....

    If there still an error remains, please upload a sample workbook.
