Is there a way to search for a value next to label by sheet. Say I have a few worksheets (1,2,3 and 4). In column A in each worksheet, I have a list of ingredients for recipies. I have another sheet, Summary, where I want to insert a formula that looks up an ingredient I specify on a sheet I specify. For example, I want to lookup the value in Column B, that is Next to the Ingredient SUGAR in Column A and I want the Sugar Value for the recipie in Worksheet 3. I need something that will work for more than 20 Worksheets. Any ideas?

Also, is it possible to copy the list of ingredients for each worksheet and have all the lists copied onto another worksheet? Keep in mind that the recipies WILL NOT have the same number of ingredients or even share common ingredients? I also need to copy which worksheet each list came from so I can identify on the summary list the recipie name (i.e. worksheet name), the ingredients and the amount of ingredient used in the recipie.

This really isn't for recipies, but it's the best analogy I can think of. Thanks in advance!!!
