The Tip Left column in the Friday worksheet contains a fill color and number formatting. You want to fill these formats to the other daily worksheets.

Group the Friday through Monday worksheets, staring with the Friday worksheet. Fill the format only for the range E5:E24.

Now you want to insert column totals for the five worksheets simultaneously.

With the worksheets still grouped, insert SUM functions in the range B25:E25 and apply the Totals cell style. Ungroup the worksheets.

The Week worksheet is designed to be a summary sheet. You want to insert a hyperlink to the Total heading in the Monday worksheet.

On the Week worksheet, in cell A5, insert a hyperlink to cell A25 in the Monday worksheet with the ScreenTip text Monday’s Totals. Test the hyperlink to ensure it works correctly.

In cell A6 on the Week worksheet, insert a hyperlink to cell A25 in the Tuesday worksheet with the ScreenTip text Tuesday’s Totals. Test the hyperlink to ensure it works correctly.

In cell A7, insert a hyperlink to cell A25 in the Wednesday worksheet with the ScreenTip text Wednesday’s Totals. Test the hyperlink to ensure it works correctly.

In cell A9, insert a hyperlink to cell A25 in the Friday worksheet with the ScreenTip text Friday’s Totals. Test the hyperlink to ensure it works correctly.

Now, you are ready to insert references to cells in the individual worksheets. First, you will insert a reference to Monday's Food Total.

In cell B5 on the Week worksheet, insert a formula with a 3-D reference to cell B25 in the Monday worksheet. Copy the formula to the range C5:E5.

The next formula will display the totals for Tuesday.

In cell B6, insert a formula with a 3-D reference to cell B25 in the Tuesday worksheet. Copy the formula to the range C6:E6.

In cell B7, insert a formula with a 3-D reference to cell B25 in the Wednesday worksheet. Copy the formula to the range C7:E7.

In cell B8, insert a formula with a 3-D reference to cell B25 in the Thursday worksheet. Copy the formula to the range C8:E8.
