Problem with creating formula

I am using Excel XP in Window XP, and am having trouble creating a formula in a workbook with many worksheets (my test book only has a few, but could be potentially 150-200 sheets). Each of these sheets is based on a template, so that the "total" cells are all the same. I am trying to create a formula in a summary worksheet, summing the same cell in all worksheets with a particular text in cell B2. This text refers to a status, and there are five possible phrases.

The only formula I can get to work only refers to one sheet: =IF('worksheet'!B2="Submitted", +'worksheet'!D21,"+0")

I get #VALUE for the following formula: =SUMIF('worksheet1:worksheet5'!B2,"Submitted",'worksheet1:worksheet5'!D21)

I get FALSE for this formula: =IF(worksheet1!B2="Submitted",+worksheet!D21," "),=IF(worksheet2!B2="Submitted",+worksheet2!D21," " etc.

Can anyone help? Paula

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Insert two new sheets, name these two First and Last, place all the relevant data sheets between First and Last, and use in the summary sheet:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(THREED(First:Last!$B$2)="Submitted"),THREED(First:Last!$D$21))

THREED is part of the free morefunc.xll add-in, which you need to download and install.
