    This was extremely helpful. the below formula is what i use to track all my employees Vacation,Sick,Personal,LOA days. I have tabs for every month of the year and use this to track how many days they have used. All i do is change the "V" to a "S" or "P". Formula works perfect! thanks for the info....

    =COUNTIF(January!B16:AF16,"V")+COUNTIF(February!B16:AF16,"V")+COUNTIF(March!B16:AF16,"V")+COUNTIF(April!B16:AF16,"V")+COUNTIF(May!B16:AF16,"V")+COUNTIF(June!B16:AF16,"V")+COUNTIF(July!B16:AF16,"V")+COUNTIF(August!B16:AF16,"V")+COUNTIF(September!B16:AF16,"V")+COUNTIF(October!B16:AF16,"V")+COUNTIF(November!B16:AF16,"V")+COUNTIF(December!B16:AF16,"V")

    Hi. Using this formula:
    =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&C2:C4&"'!A2:A6"),E2))

    I get a Ref error if Column C has more than 9 rows. In other words, INDIRECT("'"&C2:C9&"'!A2:A6"),E2)), is OK but INDIRECT("'"&C2:C10&"'!A2:A6"),E2)) is not.
    How do I avoid this error?

    How would I write the formula above (=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&C2:C4&"'!A2:A6"),E2))) if I had to use the COUNTIFS function? Right now I have to see if certain cells have met 2 to 3 criteria (across multiple worksheets).

    cheers for you help.

      try =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIFS(INDIRECT("'"&C2:C4&"'!A2:A6"),E2),(INDIRECT("'"&C2:C4&"'!A2:A6"),X2),(INDIRECT("'"&C2:C4&"'!A2:A6"),Y2))
      where E2, X2 and Y2 are your criteria and INDIRECT("'"&C2:C4&"'!A2:A6" are your criteria range, where C2:C4 are your tab names and A2:A6 is your data range

      let me know if it works I'm actually very curious, didn't have time to run and test it myself. I just had to use one criteria so above easier formula did work wonders for me

    Can you not specify your range of cells within a RANGE of sheets instead of "sheet1+sheet2+sheet3...." and specify a range to compare to like: countif(sheet1:sheet5!b:b, a:a)

      tried it, didn't work. you need your tab(sheet) names in the cells for it to work. The cells are actually making up a range themselves, hence C2:C4 in the formula
