Quickly fill cell references from multiple worksheets in Excel

Sometimes, you may need to reference a specific cell in all of the worksheets and display the results in separate cells on a summary sheet. For example, you have a workbook which contains multiple worksheets named Sun, Mon, Tue… Sat, in each sheet, the cell B7 has the total price for each day. On your summary sheet you want these individual total price cells B7 to be listed on separate rows. You can point the reference manually to each cell of each sheet. But if there are lots of sheets, this way will be tedious.

However, if you have Dynamically Refer to Worksheets of Kutools for Excel, you can quickly create and fill same cell references from multiple worksheets into one worksheet.
