Default Reference an identical cell on a different page using copy/paste?

I have a three worksheets: 'Summary', 'Page 1' and 'Page 2'. On 'Summary
R5C1', I have referenced 'Sheet 1, C1R1' . I now want to COPY the entire row
5 on 'Summary', paste it as R6 'Summary' but have it reference 'Sheet 2,
C1R1'. I'm having no luck. Can anybody help?

Are your Page 1 and Sheet 1 are one and the same?

At any rate, simply copy the formulas down, then select the pasted cells,
and do a Search & Replace, replacing Sheet1 with Sheet2

Duke,

I probably wasn't clear.

Page 1 and Page 2 are identical layouts with different values per cell.
Summary is a Rollup by Page #.

After I complete my 'Summary Row 1' formulas reference to Page 1 values
(across Summary Row 1), I want to simply copy 'Summary Row 1, paste it below
itself, however, I want it to now reference 'Page 2' values without having to
maually go into each cell and change the "worksheet' reference.

The bottom line is I may have 50 pages (or more) of data. I don't want to
edit worksheet references everytime I add a new line (refencing another page)
to the Summary page.

You can use the indirect() function. Insert a new column A on your summary
sheet and put the Sheet name you want to reference for each row in the new
column A in that same row. Then your formula for Summary sheet row 5 would
be something like

=INDIRECT("'"&$a5&"'!a1")

and you'll be able to copy that down for all 50 sheets you want to
reference, so long as you put the sheet names in column A

You'll have to adjust the "a1" portion in each indirect() function, as this
is text and will not update as you copy across the columns to fill out each
row
