I am trying to create a spreadsheet that collects data from a number of
similarly formatted worksheets. Since I don’t want to have to manually
enter each sheet name into the main collection worksheet formulas I
would like the formulas in each column to reference data from the
worksheet bearing the name of that formulas’ column header.

For instance, in a column labeled “03” I want to reference a worksheet
named “03” in this formula but if I copy this formula across to
multiple rows I need to edit each row and change the “03” to “02”, “01”
etc…I know I can edit and replace but my main worksheet collects data
from many worksheets.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH('03'!$D$6:$D$76)=1),'03'!$J$6:$J$76)
