Hi ,
I have several sheets that I need to pull data from to sum in a master sheet.
Is this possible?
Thank you.
Maggie
Hi Maggie,
Yes, it is. You can do it in several different ways and the right one depends on your specific set up. Can you share the sheet(s) or some screenshots?
You could use cell-linking or cross-sheet formulas.
Please see the attached link/screenshot.

Hi Andree,
Thanks for your reply.
But I need the numbers that I have copied from the cells to be summed in teh master sheet.
For example in Sheet 1 I have 6 cells with numbers that I want to appear as 1 cell - summed up - in the Master.
is this possible:)
Thanks.
Happy to help!
Yes, it is. The best solution depends on the structure of your sheet. Can you share the sheet(s) or some screenshots?
For this you would want to use a basic SUM function with x-sheet references (Andree's second link).
I would say that it depends on which cells are needed in the sum. If they ain't connected and spread out in the sheet, I would first cell-link them to another "Master sheet" or sum them inside the main sheet.
Good thought. I just assumed they were in a single row or column.
I did at first also

Hello to all the community, my team is experiencing an issue with the notifications in Smartsheet. In the last hour the notifications started including only the placeholders of the columns, instead of the content of the related cell. I checked with the support and this could be related to changes in the workflow or in the…
