    Search multiple worksheets and copy cells to summary sheet

    Hi,

    I have multiple worksheets that I need to use data from to create a summary sheet. We have various job types at my work, each one having it's own job costing sheet within the same workbook. There are 4 different job costing sheets for each month so I will, at year end, have 48 sheets that will need to be searched. I need to create a summary sheet in which I can enter the sales order number in column B and have excel search the job costing sheets and copy the margin % cell for each job with the matching sales order number (which is column B on each sheet) onto the summary sheet.

    I hope my question makes sense. I greatly appreciate any help anyone can provide, I am an excel novice and haven't been able to find an answer to this by searching the forums. I am using Excel 2003.

    Thank you,

    Jill

    Hi Jill,

    It sounds like I might have done this before.

    I would like to see if I can help you, but it would be helpful if you could post up a dummy workbook.

    Thx

    Hi,

    Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you.

    I put a workbook together quickly which shows a basic version of what I'm looking for. I completed the summary sheet manually, but what I'm hoping for is to be able to only enter the Sales Order # and Excel will search all sheets and auto-fill the correct cells with the correct margin #'s. There could potentially be more than one margin per column in the summary; ie, there might be a packaging margin in April and a packaging margin in a previous month, or possibly more than one packaging margin in the same month which correlates with the same sales order, so in that case, Excel would have to find all those margins, average them then enter the resulting amount in the corresponding cell.

    Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide!!

    Jill
