Assume week1 workbook with monday to friday sheets and a total sheet.
Each sheet has a couple of columns.
Name column and sold column.
Paul is in A2 and what he sold is in B2
On total sheet you have 2 columns.
Names and sold totals.
Paul is again in A2
On total sheet enter in B2 =SUM(Monday:Friday!A2)
That would give you a Paul total for the week.
You could link that total to another Excel workbook.
There is more, but that is the jist of it.
Gord
There are approx 10 people
by document mean file/workbook
yes there would be 52 weeks for the year
each workbook has 6 worksheets
each person is on all 6 of the sheets
so it would be
monday
paul sold 3
bob sold 5
tuesday paul sold 1
bob sold 0
etc
total
paul sold 4
bob sold 6,
also has other stuff, but that is the main jist of it all
