    How do i create macro to count number of "Y" or "N" in different worksheets

    Hi,
    i have a many worksheets in which each cell contain either "Yes" or "No". I want to write a macro which counts number of "Yes" in each corresponding cell (for example in A1 cell ) in all worsheets and put the answer to a new worksheet(for example NumberOfYes) in the corresponding cell (that is A1). A template excel file is attached for clarification of query.

    Regards,
    Tehseen

    Hello tehseen,

    I downloaded your file and received the message that the "file is in unrecognizable format". Perhaps you should reload your attachment.

    You could do this with formulae though conditional summation across sheets is generally a poor performer as it requires volatile Arrays / Sumproducts.

    It would be easier (based on your sample file & question) to convert the underlying source values from non-numerics (Yes/No) to numeric (1/0) and use Custom Format to display Yes / No accordingly...

    To illustrate using your file:

    Group Sheets Sample1 & Sample2
    Highlight B2:E5
    Run Edit -> Replace: replacing Yes with 1
    Repeat Replacing No with 0
    Apply a Custom Format of: "Yes";;"No"
    UnGroup the sheets...

    You should now find you have the same display as before in terms of Yes/No but you can now do a simply 3D non-conditional Summation,eg:

    NumberofYes!B2: =SUM(Sample1:Sample2!B2)
    applied across matrix
