Hi,

I struggle with a file of mine: I have one sheet per alley (all similar) for a store. I want to sum up each department on its specif sheet and "A1" has the name of the department on every sheets).

If I create a sheet "Fruits & veg" with its name in "A1" too, what should I do to have all "A2" added if its belongs to this department?

I tried =sumif(sheet1:sheet99!A1;A1;sheet1:sheet99!A2) but I got a value error. I guess range has to be on a single sheet.

Note that I have a macro creating the sheets of the alleys and could therefore use a macro to sum up the department if I knew how. Unfortunately the name of the alleys change for each store (the macro use a list of alleys to create the sheets) but I should be abble to sort it out if I could understand how to ask excel to sum A2 of the sheets if their A1 is similar to A1 of my active sheet.

Thank you in advance for your input.
