COUNTIF or FIND Functions across multiple sheets
![Tec](https://us.v-cdn.net/6031209/uploads/defaultavatar/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg)
Hi,
I'd like to try and use the FIND or COUNT function across multiple sheets. Is this possible? My idea is to have a master sheet one directory higher than all my actual data sheets and SUM/COUNT attributes based on similar criteria to the example below

Thanks Khasim,
yeah sort of - i know i can reference another sheet but i wanted to know if i can just COUNTIF (column x [contains y]) all sheets in a directory. without having to reference the sheet by name. In other words all sheets in the same folder

I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

thanks Andree,
Much appreciated - I'd need to do some further manipulation once i'd gather the info so a report probably wouldn't work.
thanks again all for taking the time to take a look

Happy to help!
One alternative could be to use the Grouping and Summary features.
Would that work/help?
