sum of same cell, from many different sheets on excel online.

I am having trouble using the formula I have found for excel, on excel online to sum the same cell from 30 different sheets. 

I tried:   =SUM(1!E47,2!E47,3!E47) 

what am i doing wrong? does this function work online?

thank you

    Yes, it works with Excel Online if your sheets have names "1","2" and "3".

    =SUM('1'!E47,'2'!E47,'3'!E47)
    or
    =SUM('1:3'!E47)

      HMM...I tried :     =SUM('1'!E47, '2'!E47)

      and I get this response #NOMBRE?   (My computer is in spanish, I assume it would be #name? in english)

      my formula has spaces because it also didnt work without spaces. Any other ideas?

        I did find that a few things are different with the spanish version. As of now I have realized I should put the formula like this:

        =SUMA(Hoja1!B5, Hoja2!B5)

        now its not giving me an error indication, however, it is summing up 0 and it should show me a large number with just the 2 cells being added.
