will try to make this as brief as possible. Here's my example:

workbook has several 'sheets' in it, for now we'll say 4. Sheet 4 has been
renamed to Skeleton, and Sheet 3 is called Values. Sheets 1-2 are named
Alpha & Beta. The Skeleton sheet is a diagram of the rest of the sheets.
All the VLOOKUP codes are there, I'm assuming that Sheets Alpha & Beta 'pull'
the formulas onto their pages. However, I need a formula that will count the
number of entries on those two pages & calculate. Right now the Skeleton
sheet has a formula in cell C29 that reads: =COUNT(A5:A26)*120. (The cells
A5:A26 are numbered consecutively from 1-22) I thought the way to insert the
info on the Alpha sheet was to type =skeleton!c29...but I need it to count
only the *nonblank* rows on each sheet. So, say Alpha has info on 5 rows, I
need the calculation to do 5x120. If Beta has 10 rows of info, I need the
calc to do 10x120. Instead, it's counting the whole info from the Skeleton
sheet (22x120).

I inherited this project from someone who has left, and I'm just about at my
wits' end! Can anyone help!????

thanks

Let XL create the formula for you.

Click a cell on "Skeleton", and enter:
=COUNT(
NOW, navigate to your Alpha sheet and click in A5, and drag down to A26
Then, click in the formula bar and complete the formula
)*12
Then hit <Enter.

You now have the formula you want, and you can either copy the syntax for
the others, or simply follow the same procedure to complete the rest of the
formulas.

Hi
you can't do it this way. That is you can't put your formulas on a
master sheet and let them apply automatically to each sheet. You have
to use this formula itself on each sheet
