Have a file with multiple tabs need to pull data from exactly the same rows and columns just different sheets

[LotusLord]

Good evening all.

I am not an expert by any stretch but I have been asked to help with what seems like a large spreadsheet to me. In this file there are several sheets that I need to pull the numbers from and put into 3 master sheets. So for example I'm using the formula =IF(Q6='Escobedo 1'!$A6,'Escobedo 1'!$B6,0)

The cell below that is =IF(Q6='Escobedo 2'!$A6,'Escobedo 2'!$B6,0), and so on down the line for at least 10 more sheets. I'm looking to be able to minimize the manual changing of values in each of these cells, and auto fill is not working for me as I would like. If I drag down All of the cell references are incremented. Does any one have any ideas how to proceed?

Are those the actual formulas? I am assuming B6 will change depending on if Escobedo 2, 3, 4,5?

SO you have ten sheets and ten rows:
=IF(Q6='Escobedo 1'!$A6,'Escobedo 1'!$B6,0)
=IF(Q6='Escobedo 2'!$A6,'Escobedo 2'!$B6,0)
=IF(Q6='Escobedo 3'!$A6,'Escobedo 3'!$B6,0)
=IF(Q6='Escobedo 4'!$A6,'Escobedo 4'!$B6,0)
=IF(Q6='Escobedo 5'!$A6,'Escobedo 5'!$B6,0)
=IF(Q6='Escobedo 6'!$A6,'Escobedo 6'!$B6,0)
...
And u want to keep writing these formulas for all the data in each sheet?

I think it would be better to make a drop down list with "Escobedo 1", "Escobedo 2".... all the way to 10 in "A1". in A2 you type =ifs(A1=Escobedo,'Escobedo 1'!A1[A1=escobedo 2..... all the way to 10

Then you apply to all cells in the sheet[/COLOR]
