Having difficulty creating a formula the references multiple sheets.
For example starting with a sheet called Summary which is sheet 2 of 29 and entering
=SUM(Mar00.C5;Mar01.C5;Mar02.C5;Mar03.C5;Mar04.C5)
and then hitting enter the following is returned
=SUM(Mar00.C5;Mar01.C5;Mar02.C5;Mar03.C5,#REF!.C5)
however entering
=SUM(Mar00.C5;Mar01.C5;Mar02.C5;Mar03.C5)
only returns the correct sum.
Thank you |

I successfully entered a formula summing the contents of cell C5 in 5 consecutive sheets. My formula was exactly the same as yours except, of course, for the sheet names.
In case of some quirk involving your sheet names, I even made a document using the same names. You should check that the name Mar04 is correct - there may, for example, be a space which you can't see. I notice also that your post shows a comma after "Mar03.C5" instead of a semi-colon, as: Mar03.C5,#REF!.C5 but if I use a comma there I get "#NAME?". If I mispell the sheetname I get the result you mention (but no comma): =SUM(aim.C5;brw.C5;buy.C5;cuo.C5;#REF!.C5) |

| You are absolutely correct, I had some spaces in my sheet names. Thank you for the help. |
