Default Shortcut for referring to tab names in formulas

Hello..thanks for your help in this..

I have a workbook with many tabs (worksheets). The last is a spreadsheet
(let's call it Tab#10) with each row drawing data from different places in
each of the worksheets...so that row 1 will draw data from tab#1, row two
from tab #2...etc.

I would like to manually link the cells in row one (in Tab#10) to tab#1, and
then drag down to fill the rest of the rows (in Tab#10). I was then going to
use the "search & replace" feature to replace the reference to tab#1 by the
correct tab name for row 2 onwards.

QUESTION: There must be a smarter/quicker/more efficient way of doing this,
and I know one of you Excel whizzes knows it!!

p.s. I am not a macro expert..but I just copied a macro code from this site
for automatically naming tabs and it WORKED - I am SO happy.. so I'm
encouraged.
