I have to say, as a fairly well versed user of Excel, the assistance offered by this site was very, very helpful. I will refer several of my business colleagues to this site when they are in need of particular help on various functions. Thank you!

Comment on Separate Full Name into First & Last Name by MAV

Hi – I have a formula that references a cell in a name column for selecting a same-named worksheet tab as part of a cell-reference in the same-named worksheet. The formula is as shown below and works great – except when the name is one that includes a quote mark, e.g. Frank O’Hara. How to adjust formula to fix this problem?

=SUM(INDIRECT(“‘”&A2&”‘!$V$57″))

your question is not clear. Hit question mark (Help) on right corner of the excel ribbon. you will find several answers. if you have hidden the file itself,go to search and enter the file name and then hit on the properties and uncheck the hidden attribute.

Comment on Today() Formula in Excel by Myron Murray

I have an XLS w/multiple tabs. Some I update regularly, some not. Similar to the today() function, is there a function whereby if I update just one of the multiple tabs, it will only change the date in the specific cell with “today’s” date?

Hi Everyone,

I have a workbook with 12 worksheets in it. Each worksheet represents a month in 2011. Totals on each sheet are in different cells. I need to add up all the totals from the 12 different sheets … does anyone know how to do that.

Example: Sheet 1/Jan 2011 – total is in cell F113 …… Sheet 2/Feb 2011 – total is in cell F67 ……. and so on …… different cells in the different worksheets.

Thank you in advance
