how to call Sum function from cell in workbook and refresh on any change
Hello,
I have multiple sheets in a workbook. On a few of the sheets, I want to sum the value in F3. I want the sum to appear on a specific sheet titled and location and be an automatic update if the values in any of the sheets change.
I have this function in the Module of the workbook:
Function SumSeries(SumRange As Range) As Double
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim TopTotals As Double
TopTotals = 0
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Name <> "Metrics" And ws.Name <> "TFSData" And ws.Name <> "TFSBugs" Then
TopTotals = TopTotals + WorksheetFunction.Sum(ws.R
End If
Next ws
SumSeries = TopTotals
End Function
I have tried placing variations in the cell like =SumSeries($F3) but I get #VALUE. How do I structure what should be in the cell formula to call the function, and have it automatically update when any value within the Sum is updated?

Each tester has a separate workbook that has an automatic copy button. It deletes the sheet and replaces it with the newer version. When this is done, the reference is lost. I was looking into not deleting the sheet with replacement but 1. I couldn't figure it out. 2. we will have any number of testers and workbooks for each project so I thought making these sums dynamic will be the best route

oh, sorry missed the top answer 0 imnorie. Testing it now, thanks

well, ho molie, it was typo!! doh, too many formulas in these small cells. Thank you!

Thank you
If the sheets are sequential, set a couple of blank sheets called Start and Finish and make sure that all sheets required for the Sum are in between these two.
The sum would then be:
=SUM(Start:Finish!F3)
There is then no reference to specific sheets that will get lost .

=SUM(Sheet1!F3,Sheet2!F3,S
if some of the sheets are in sequence and there is no risk that sheets could be inserted that you do not wish to include:
=SUM('Sheet1:Sheet3'!F3,Sh
Thanks
