    How to reference multiple cells of other sheet w/out addressing sheet each and every time?

    So I'm writing a lot of formulas that go back and forth between the sheet they're on to another sheet from cell to cell to make one formula like:

    ='other sheet'!A1+'other sheet'!B1

    when I'd rather write it something like this:

    ='other sheet'!(A1+B1)

    to save space, but apparently you can't. What's the next best method if there is anything?

    You could set up named ranges for the cells in the other sheet, and then you could write:

    =name1 + name2

    Hope this helps.

    For that specific example:

    ='Other Sheet'!A1+'Other Sheet'!B1

    Could be:
    =SUM('Other Sheet'!A1:B1)
