Default Autofill summary worksheet

Hi,

I have a workbook that has a worksheet for each month of the year. Each
month has over a dozen columns with figures that are totalled. Then I have a
summary worksheet in the same workbook that has a column for each month of
the year and all of the individual columns on the month sheets. I need to
figure out how to put a formula in the summary worksheet that comes from each
of the column totals on each of the monthly sheets without entering each
manually.

On the summary sheet I manually entered just the column total formula for
the month of January. Now I'm assuming that there is some way to drag those
cells across the rest of the year and get it to copy and adjust the forumula
respectively. But I can't find what the keystrokes or process is to get it
to work...

Here's what the forumulas look like in the january columns:

=sum(Jan!Y40)
=sum(Jan!A40)
=sum(Jan!B40)
=sum(Jan!C40) etc....

Here's what I want this sheet to look like by columns:

=sum(Jan!Y40) =sum(Feb!Y40) =sum(Mar!Y40)
=sum(Jan!A40) =sum(Feb!A40) =sum(Mar!A40)
=sum(Jan!B40) =sum(Feb!B40) =sum(Mar!B40)
=sum(Jan!C40) =sum(Feb!C40) =sum(Mar!C40)

When I drag the cells this is what I get:

=sum(Jan!Y40) =sum(Jan!Z40) =sum(Jan!AA40)
=sum(Jan!A40) =sum(Jan!B40) =sum(Jan!C40)
=sum(Jan!B40) =sum(Jan!C40) =sum(Jan!D40)
=sum(Jan!C40) =sum(Jan!D40) =sum(Jan!E40)

So it's changing the column ID instead of the sheet ID. Any ideas on how to
make this work?

Thanks!!!
