Hi :) You guys are over-complicating it. Just post a feature request via the bug-reporting system Similar problems occur in proprietary systems too but with less chance of reporting the problem. Also the bosses need to understand the problem and give it more attention than their golf handicap

I wanted to reply and let everybody know that the workaround using FREQUENCY works fine. The sheet is now out for users to test and will be going through a few cosmetic changes, but it works. If you are curious, the sheet is a vehicle mileage sheet for company vehicles, but I will be using it

Exactly. All of the functions that I use seem to work across sheets, except AVERAGEIF and COUNTIF. I will look into filing a bug report. For now, is there any way to get the average of cell H35 across all of my sheets without adding other sheets or modifying my layout? I will have people using

I read your solution, but do not want to alter any cells or add new ones as the spreadsheets are formatted to fit onto a single sheet of paper. I am going to test the solution using frequency right now. It looks perfect to me, but I won't know until I put some data into the sheets and see what

One way would be to add a second cell to each sheet, say H36, that has a simple IF(H530,1,0), then on the cover sheet your formula could be something like =(January.H35+Fenruary.H35+...)/(January.H36+February.H36+...). Of course you would need to type in all the actual cell references instead of

Well I have designed the sheets to be printed at the end of each year, so extra cells would not work. I do know Basic (I started my coding career using Basic on an Atari 400 in 1986) but would much rather use the built-in functions of Calc. Is there a reason that AVERAGEIF and COUNTIF will not

Well, I *think* the issue is with using the functions on a range that is across worksheets. I don't think you can do that, but then again, I don't think you can do this in MSO either, but you seem to think that MSO can do this, so my assumption appears to be wrong, and as such might be wrong for
