what formula are you using now? most formulas will stay across multiple sheets if additional sheets are added inbetween so you could make the last sheet not count IE nil return or zeros then insert new sheets just in front of that one

I do not know a way to use indirect with this function, how many sheets are we talking for a few you could do something like this

iferror(INDEX(Sheet2!B:B,MATCH(A2,Sheet2!A:A,0)),INDEX(Sheet3!B:B,MATCH(A2,Sheet3!A:A,0)))

Other than that I can offer no more, sorry, sometimes saying simple question doth not a simple answer return me thinks

i have somes but this way when new sheet is created, i will have to update the formula again

or any other formula do you think its possible?

I dont think there is any formula that knows a new sheet has been added and to update itself.

There may be a vba solution but I would not know how to do it sorry.

Good luck
