    pulling data from other worksheets

    I have a file that contains 80+ worksheets and I need to the pull the data from cell A2 of each worksheet and create a list of the contents of each of those cells in another worksheet. Besides manually entering ='sheet1'!A2 or similar, is there a way to do this without having to complete a formula for each sheet?

    thanks!

    Welcome to the forum. Would a macro work for you? I could put the macro into a Worksheet_Activate event so every time you accessed this "Summary" sheet it would update the list.

    If so, how would you like the culled list to look? Sheetname in column A and value from A2 on that sheet in column B? Would that work?

    If you create a sheet called SUMMARY, put in titles:

    A1 - Sheet
    B1 - Value

    Then right-click on the sheet tab and select VIEW CODE.
    Paste in this code:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Press Alt-Q to close the editor and save your sheet.

    Now switch to another sheet, then switch back. The moment you do that, the list will be created. Even on a workbook with 80 sheets, this seems to work almost instantaneously.

    Every time you select the Summary Sheet the list is updated.
