Default Fill Series function question

Try this in A1 and drag down upto A6. If you want to start from Jan you can
remove (+5) part from the code...

=INDIRECT(TEXT(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),ROW()+5,1),"MMMY Y") & "!$X$1")

If this post helps click Yes

Hi,

I have a spreadsheet that tracks the entry in a particular cell in a
number of other spreadsheets in the same workbook i.e. Cell A1
contains "=Jun09!$X$1" while A2 has "=Jul09!$X$1" etc

The workbook grows by one sheet per month and I therefore have to add
the above formula each month - (I actuall do about 6 at a time) and
therefore have to type in the formula each time.

My question is this - is there something like the "Edit" "Fill Series"
function that I could use? It would save me pasting the formulal in on
each new line and then editing each one for the month i.e. Aug, Sep
etc
