If I understand you correctly, try:

A1: =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(2,7,2,,TEXT(DATE(,COLUMNS($A:A), 1),"mmm")))

and drag right to L1

Yes and no. You will have to add a helper column with Jan, Feb, Mar, ... in
the cells.
Assuming that is in Cell B2, B3, ... then in A2 use the formula

=indirect(b2 & "!G2")
And drag down. Note that this formulas has a surprising amount of overhead
to it so if you have thousands of these you will notice taht you spread sheet
calculates slowly.

Sorry, I first thought you were filling columns.

Make this change:

=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(2,7,2,,TEXT(DATE(,rowS($1:1),1), "mmm")))

then fill down to A12.

Try this...

=INDIRECT(TEXT(ROWS(A$1:A1)*29,"mmm")&"!G2")

Copy down as needed.
