Excel
Why is an extra dollar amount being added to the merging spreadsheet? One tab is working correctly and the other tabs that are merge to the total spreadsheet is adding an extra dollar amount.
How do you calculate totals in the main tab? That's SUM() or SUMIFS() on ranges in each tab, or these are links to cells with totals in individual tabs, our you use lookup functions, or something else. Do tabs have the same structure.
It's better if you could illustrate on the sample file or at least on screenshots.
Not sure what are the names of your sheets, with formula
=SUM( 'TOTALS:SHOES'!I18 )you sum values in cell I18 in all sheets between TOTALS and SHOES, i.e. that's the equivalent of something like
=TOTALS!I18 + BALLS!I18 + SHOES!I18Perhaps you'd like to have total only in SHOES, when it's simply
=SHOES!I18
