Please share whether it is possible to somehow imbed sheet names contained in
a cell to allow for relative referencing in a formula...so autofill can be
used to fill in sheets....




I have a spreadsheet which contains a column with account numbers:

ACCT #
1 =SUMIF(SheetReference1,Cell,SheetReference1)
2 =SUMIF(SheetReference2,Cell,SheetReference2)
3 =SUMIF(SheetReference3,Cell,SheetReference3)
4 =SUMIF(SheetReference4,Cell,SheetReference4)



These Account numbers are also the name of sheets.
I need to use the SUMIF function to extract information from each sheet.
However, when I copy paste the formula down I have to manually go into each
cell and change the sheet reference. This can be quite annoying because the
SUMIF function contains the sheet reference twice. If I could imbed the
Account Number as a sheet reference I could save myself a lot of typing....

Does anyone have any suggestions or workarounds?
