Using a cell value to reference a worksheet in SUMIF function

Hi.

I have a spreadsheet which has 13 worksheets. One for each month and a calculation worksheet. The calculation worksheet has a column for each month. The calculations are identical from month to month with the exception of the worksheet being referenced. I currently hardcode the worksheet references.

=SUMIF(DEC!$B$14:$B$33,"<>CITI",DEC!$G$14:$G$33)

Every time I modify a formula I have to manually change it twelve times. I added a cell in row 1 of each column of the calculation worksheet to store the month value. Cell R1 contains DEC.

Is there a way to reference R1 rather than hardcode DEC in the above formula? This would allow me to copy updated formulas through the 12 columns and not have to manually change each one.

Thanks for your assistance.

Tony

Hi tonyamabile

Welcome to the forum

You would do best to post a sample workbook showing your Sheet Layout and perhaps Before and After examples.

It should clearly illustrate your problem and not contain any sensitive data.

Knowing your sheet layout will potentialy, solve your problem

Cheers
