I have a WORKBOOK with several sheets. I need to add a summary sheet at the beginning as the 1st sheet and list all workSHEET names in one column. These SHEETS have specific names like xy248, vr 269 etc. Can this be done with a formula that I can put in a cell and copy down on the summary sheet?

AskWoody LoungerAugust 21, 2009 at 7:40 am #1174403You could run this macro:
Code:Sub ListWorksheetNames() Dim i As Integer Worksheets("SummarySheet").Range("A:A").ClearContents For i = 1 To Worksheets.Count Worksheets("SummarySheet").Range("A" & i) = Worksheets(i).Name Next i End Sub
where SummarySheet is the name of the summary worksheet
If you have added, removed or renamed worksheets, simply run the macro again. -

AskWoody LoungerAugust 21, 2009 at 8:38 am #1174433Worked fine.
Now that I have my list, I’m trying to count the number of blank cells on each worksheet in column I “From I7 to i1000
I tried in column b beside each listing generated by the macro:
=countif(sheetA2I!I7:I1000,>””) but it didn’t work —A2 in the refers to the sheet name generated by the formula, I intended to copy down as far as needed thus getting the count for each sheet in the workbook or will have to use code for this also???
thanks a heep!

AskWoody LoungerAugust 21, 2009 at 9:04 am #1174461You can use the INDIRECT function for this.
To count the number of non-blank cells:
=COUNTA(INDIRECT(“‘”&A2&”‘!I7:I1000”))
To count the number of blank cells:
=COUNTBLANK(INDIRECT(“‘”&A2&”‘!I7:I1000”))
These formulas can be filled down.

Are you looking for something like this:
=COUNTIF(SheetA2!I7:I1000,””) -
