Using a formula that involves different sheets.

Can you use two different reference sheets in a formula?

I have a data sheet where I use a formula to add up my data (sumif backlogged money). Is there a way to write a formula to pull information from two different sheets to produce a result?

    Hey @Nic Sanchez,

    Yes this is doable! When you're writing your formula, there will be a popup window that will ask you if you want to reference another sheet:

    Clicking on that link will open a window allowing you to select data from another sheet.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi,

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Can you share some screenshots?
    (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
