    vlookup across multiple worksheets

    i have a workbook, with 10 sheets, named 'sheet1, sheet2' etc...
    and another 3 sheets and a summary sheet.

    in the summary sheet are a list of record ID's, and within the 10 sheets i have a bunch of record ID's with corresponding values I want to lookup.
    How do I do this so it searches across all 10 worksheets?

    First create a list of all your sheetnames in a column somewhere on your summary sheet.

    Name this list "TabNames" - without quotes (through, Insert|Name|Define)

    Then use a formula such as:

    Where A1 is the lookup item in your summary sheet.

    and A1:B100 is the lookup table in the detail sheets

    Note: After you adjust the ranges in the formula to suit your data you must confirm it with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER.. you will see { } brackets appear around the formula...

    Then you can copy it down.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
