Default Select data from two worksheets to the left

Good afternoon --

I'm storing a lot of monthly data, 1 worksheet per month. I want to create
a summary worksheet that MOSTLY pulls a rolling average of the last three
months' worth of data. My approach is this -- I create worksheets as follows:

Nov08 Dec08 First Jan09 Feb09 Mar09 Last Report Apr09 May09

On the 'Report' page, most of the formulas average the data in the sheets
between 'First' and 'Last' like this: =AVERAGE('FIRST:LAST'!A1). That way,
I can simply slide sheets in and out of the area I want to average. Works
great, less filling.

THE PROBLEM is that I would like some of the cells to always pick the last
month -- the month just to the left of the 'Last' sheet, and two sheets to
the left of 'Report'. Otherwise, I have to remember to change the formula in
just those cells every time. Any clever way?

Thanks in advance.
