Hey all, I'm using the Consolidate function to sum up a consistent range of data across multiple worksheets in a workbook. Here is my current code:
VBA Code:
Sub Consl()
      
'Consolidated Sheets
    Selection.Consolidate Sources:=Array( _
    "'1'!R3C4:R6c20", "'2'!R3C4:R6c20", "'3'!R3C4:R6c20", "'4'!R3C4:R6c20", "'5'!R3C4:R6c20", "'6'!R3C4:R6c20", "'7'!R3C4:R6c20", _
    "'8'!R3C4:R6c20", "'9'!R3C4:R6c20", "'10'!R3C4:R6c20"), _
    Function:=xlSum, TopRow:=True, LeftColumn:=True, CreateLinks:=False

End Sub

I would like to improve this by making the number of sheets in the array dynamic. As an example, if I have 30 sheets ( named sheet 1 through 30) I would like them to be included in the array. I tried going the route of defining the number of tabs I want to include in the array:
VBA Code:
For i = 1 To Range("TabCount")
I just can't figure out how to introduce it to the array.

Thanks in advance.
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Maybe something like this:
VBA Code:
Sub SheetsArray()
Dim i As Long, myArray()
ReDim myArray(1 To Sheets.Count)
For i = 1 To Sheets.Count
    myArray(i) = i
Next i
'the sheet index numbers are in myArray
MsgBox Join(myArray, ", ")
'test to return name of the sheet with index number 6
MsgBox Sheets(myArray(6)).Name
End Sub

Try this:

VBA Code:
Sub Cons_2()
  Dim i As Long, arr() As Variant
 
  ReDim arr(1 To 30)
  For i = 1 To UBound(arr)
    arr(i) = "'" & i & "'!R3C4:R6C20"
  Next
  Selection.Consolidate arr, xlSum, True, True, False
End Sub
