Default Relative Range Reference in a sumifs formula

Hi,

I have a worksheet full of data (Actual DT)with cost centers in column A,
subaccounts in column B, and data in columns D through O (each column is a
different month). In the main tab of my report, I have a dropdown box for
users to select the month they would like to see data for. In yet another
tab, I am trying to create a formula that is a 'sumifs' into the data sheet
that will sum the given month's column if both the cost center and subaccount
match those given in cells on that sheet.

So far, I have gotten to the following: =SUMIFS('Actual DT'!K:K,'Actual
DT'!A:A,A10,'Actual DT'!B:B,$A$9) (I have the CC i would like to match to in
A10 and the Subaccount in A9)

This formula works fine but what I would like to do is find some way to
remove the 'Actual DT'!K:K reference and have that be either a vlookup or
something into another sheet where I can lookup the month currently selected
in the main dropdown window and then have the corresponding sum range I want
to put into the sumifs statement in the next column over. I would even settle
for being able to reference one cell that I could format to hold the data
range for the given month. I just can't figure it out! I have had sucess
referencing the column number in a vlookup as a reference to another cell,
but I haven't figure out how to do this for a range of cells.

Is this possible? Please let me know if I can clarify anything.

Thank you in advance!!!
