Insert the sheet name and an exclamation point before the cells you would like to add:
=Sheet1!A1+Sheet2!A1
Sheets are like pieces of paper, you add a sheet to add another page to your document. You can also rename them, change colors by right clicking on the work SHEET. To add more sheets, click on the tab next to the sheets that has a paper with a flower on it.
Basically you can either add values individually, including cells: = 1 + 2 + 3 or, to add values in cells: = A1 + A2 + A3 Or, you can add a range of numbers, stored in adjacent cells, with the sum() function: = SUM(A1:A10)
The 'sum' function.Type =sum(X,Y) - bold for emphasis - where X and Y are your cell locations or values, and Excel will return the sum (i.e. the result of addition) of those values.
You can have over 200 worksheets in a workbook. For Excel 2007 and higher, the actual number of sheets is limited only by the amount of memory available to Excel.
To reference other sheets you use the name of the sheet followed by an exclamation mark and then the cell, like:Sheet3!A4So to add cells on different worksheets you could do something like:=Sheet3!A4+Sheet2!A5+Sheet1!C20To add the same cell from several sheets you could do this:=SUM(Sheet1:Sheet9!A12)To add the same range of cells from several sheets you could do this:=SUM(Sheet1:Sheet9!A12:F30)
By default there are 3 sheets in a new Excel workbook.
There are four worksheets to each book, but you can add more, insert/worksheet not sure how many you can have in total but I know that version 2007 inserts many more rows and sheets than previous versions.
No.
In Microsoft Excel, a new workbook will normally have three worksheets.
Quote from the web: "According to Microsoft Excel, the number of worksheets in a workbook is "limited only by available memory." Current versions of Excel cannot use more than 1 GB of memory even if more memory is available on the system. (Excel 2007 will use as much memory as the system will give it.) In my experience, even if you could generate a well-formed workbook with 650 sheets, it is unlikely that any Excel user would be able to open it without running into Excel's memory limit. I'm impressed that you could even get to 200 sheets without a problem, honestly. "
The function you are referring to is likely the SUM function in spreadsheet software like Excel or Google Sheets. This function allows you to add the values in a range of cells either vertically (above the active cell) or horizontally (to the left of the active cell) by specifying the range within the function.
The plus sign. + To add values in the cells A3 and B3 you would do the following: =A3+B3
