Default SUMPRODUCT or SUMIF and INDIRECT, with Relative cell refs

Hi All!

I have two worksheets in the same workbook:

ProjectA
DepartmentA

In DepartmentA, in a cell for January hours, I want Excel to go to ProjectA,
look at an array of cells, and where there is an entry for DepartmentA, I
want Excel to sum the corresponding array of cells in ProjectA, under the
January heading. I have this formula:

=SUMIF((INDIRECT("'"&$A166&"'!$B$53:$B$311")),$C$3 ,(INDIRECT("'"&$A166&"'!$e$53:e$311")))

whe

- A166 is the cell on DepartmentA containing the name for ProjectA
- B53:B311 is the array on ProjectA to look for references to DepartmentA
- C3 is the cell on DepartmentA where is says "DepartmentA"
- E53:E311 is the array to sum, if there is a corresponding reference in
B53:B311

This formula returns the correct response; however, I cannot copy it across
for the rest of the year(s).

Is there a way to use an indirect to reference a worksheet and then
reference the cells on that worksheet so they will change according to their
being absolute or relative cell refs?

Is this a candidate for some SUMPRODUCT magic?

Thanks!
