Put the sheet names in cells M1:M3 (or further) and use
=SUMPRODUCT(N(INDIRECT(M1:M3&"!A1")),N(INDIRECT(M1:M3&"!B1")))

Many thanks.
This fixes the cell references, but I found that if I used
=SUMPRODUCT(N(INDIRECT($M$1:$M$3&"!"&TEXT(ADDRESS(ROW(A1),COLUMN(A1),4),0))),N(INDIRECT(($M$1:$M$3&"!B1"))))
then I could copy the formula to cells A2,A3 etc with automatic change of
the reference to cell A1 leaving B1 unchanged.
