Default VLOOKUP help needed.!!

I have several sheets with tabels using VLOOKUP in adjecent collums.

eg.
=VLOOKUP($A3;'DATA'!$A$6:$DC$283;56) followed by
=VLOOKUP($A3;'DATA'!$A$6:$DC$283;59) etc.

Now I I need to insert extra collums in both the 'DATA', as well as the
VLOOKUP sheets.
However when I insert new collums in the 'DATA' sheets the collumn number in
the VLOOKUP formula stays the same.
I need the collum numbers in the formula to change with the new place in the
'DATA' sheet.

eg.
insert 3 new collums on collumn nr 45
=VLOOKUP($A3;'DATA'!$A$6:$DC$283;56) becomes
=VLOOKUP($A3;'DATA'!$A$6:$DC$283;59)
And =VLOOKUP($A3;'DATA'!$A$6:$DC$283;59) becomes
=VLOOKUP($A3;'DATA'!$A$6:$DC$283;62)

There are just too many to change manually..
Any way to make this work automatically?
