how do I sum the same cell from multiple worksheets? In this case I will have
about 125 worksheets in the workbook so I'm looking for a shortcut. Thanks

Hi!

The easiest way if you use the default sheet names Sheet1,
Sheet2 .... Sheet125

=SUM(Sheet1:Sheet125!A1)

If you use custom sheet names:

Insert a new sheet before the first sheet and name it
START. Insert another new sheet after the last sheet and
name it END.

=SUM(Start:End!A1)

If you will need to create any new sheets that should also
be used in this calculation just insert them between START
and END.

=SUM(sheet1:sheet125!A1)

If sheets have unique names...........

Add a new dummy sheet after the Summary sheet which I assume is first in book.

Name this sheet Start.

Add a new dummy sheet at end of book and name it End

On Summary sheet =SUM(Start:End!A1)

Any new sheets will inserted between Start and End
