Summing Across Multiple Sheets
You might have come across an instance where you want to use a function against multiple sheets in a workbook. Excel provides an easy way to calculate aggregate functions across a range of sheets. In the examples below, you will see how this can be performed against any range of sheets and sheet names (or even multiple workbooks).

What Version Of Excel Do You Use?
We just closed our first poll on Excel Hints after receiving over 100 votes. Thanks to everyone who participated. The results were pretty much as expected. We asked users of the site which version of Excel they were currently using.
I expected the results be lean more towards Excel 2003 still, since it seemed to me that many businesses out there have not felt the need to upgrade to 2007 yet. I think some are still nervous about learning the new interface that Office 2007 came out with. But the poll shows the results are pretty close between Excel 2003 & Excel 2007 for readers of Excel Hints. Below is a chart of the results of the poll.
