I use Calc to enter the fuel receipts for the company I work for. I have Cash, Charge and Checks. Once there we have to total each month.
What my issue is I need a sheet with all the final total for each months Fuel. (Cash, Charge, etc...)
How do I link between all 12 sheets and enter just the totals for each month. I really don't feel like manually typing all this in. Do I highlight the cell, move to the sheet Click the cell I want the total from or what? I am so tired of dealing with these idiots at work I need to get it done now.
Each completed month ends on a different row so I can do a total at the top of each sheet that is in the same position, just a different monthly sheet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Teddie

PS it needs to be pretty simple because I am not an expert with this program!!!!

If you go that route, lets say the cell is A6 on sheet1 to sheet 12 for the "cash" sales.
On your " totals" sheet ( sheet 13 ??), enter =sum(sheet1.A6:sheet12.A6) for a total
of all monthly "cash" sales. Same procedure for "Charge" and "Checks", just different
cell references.

Okay my sheets are named by month and year.
I only need the complete total of all receipts for each month. Not the totals of all cash, etc...
I just need to link 1 cell from each sheet.
This is the actual name of the actual sheet. 'Jan 2011 '.A2
It isn't linking or anything and it is driving me batty, if I can get this then I can set this up for good and not keep having to do this month after month year after year. ARG

it appears that there is a space between 2011 and the '.A2 . Don't know if
that is what is on your actual sheet or just a typo in your post but that will
cause an error. Otherwise, it works for me.

=SUM('Jan 2011'.A2:'Mar 2011'.A2)

Hi I am not trying to add them all up just want 1 cell from each sheet reported.
January $2800.73
February $4678.38

These totals are already calculated on each monthly sheet I just want to me able to link them straight to the Totals page.
I don't know if I didn't make that clear, all the amounts on each sheet are totaling fine. I just cant seem to get the cell A2 for each month to post on the main sheet.
I have tried everything I can think of and every way to write it out, hyperlinking too. Just can't it to report there. Keep getting an error.

Easiest way, on your summary sheet where you want the January total type = and then without doing anything else move to the January sheet and click once only on the A2 cell and then click enter. repeat as required
