<div dir="ltr">that worked (I think). Thank you so much. I say 'think' because the answer I got was 200. Odd to get a round number like that.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Nov 22, 2024 at 2:03 PM Brian Cluff via PLUG-discuss <<a href="mailto:plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org">plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

If I understand what you are trying to do, try this:<br>
=COUNTA($A.A:A,$B.A:A,$C.A:A,$D.A:A,$E.A:A,$F.A:A,$G.A:A,$H.A:A,$I.A:A,$J.A:A,$K.A:A,$L.A:A,$M.A:A,$N.A:A,$O.A:A,$P.A:A,$Q.A:A,$R.A:A,$S.A:A,$T.A:A,$U.A:A,$V.A:A,$W.A:A,$X.A:A,$Y.A:A,$Z.A:A)<br>
<br>
This is basically over and over $A.A:A. The $A is just the name of
the sheet with a dollarsign in front of it... then a period and the
A:A represents everything in column A <br>
<br>
For the formula above to work the name of the different sheets would
need to be A B C... etc... if not, change the $A $B $C etc to
$sheet1 $sheet2 $sheet3...etc or whatever the name of your sheets
happen to be.<br>

This shorter one may work as well.<br>
=COUNTA($A.A:A:$W.A:A)<br>

<div>The formula it gives me is saying 20 when I know there is
over 100. Here is the formula it gives me:</div>
<div>=COUNTA(a.a) + COUNTA(b.a) + COUNTA(c.a) + COUNTA(d.a) +
