    How do I sum totals from multiple named worksheets?

    Each worksheet is named with a unique client name, such as: John Appleton, Cindy Wilson, Adam Smith etc..
    Each worksheet contains a value in cell L3 (actually cells L3 & L4 have been merged).
    On a separate worksheet, I'd like to add a formula to a cell that will automatically return a grand total, based on the total appearing in each worksheet.
    For example, cell L3 on the sheet named John Appleton could be populated with the number 369, the sheet named Cindy Wilson could have cell L3 populated with the number 872 etc.
    Using a calculator at this point may seem practical, but once I have 100 sheets, using a formula would be the only reasonable way to approach this challenge.
    Please bear in mind, that worksheets are added/removed all the time, and that some of the values in cell L3, will be altered on some of the sheets, from time to time.
    So I really need something super dynamic to handle all the modifications that occur, almost daily.
    Please let me know if this can be done with a formula, as I'm really not good with macros.

    Thank you

    Re: How do I sum totals from multiple named worksheets?

    The usual approach to this sort of thing is to add two blank sheets, one at the first sheet before all the sheets you want to sum and the other immediately after the last sheet to be summed. Call them First & Last if you like, and hide them

    Then the formula

    will sum all the L3 cells.
