[mso] excel formula (simple I hope)

Hello,

      Firstly, let me say that I am only an occasional spreadsheet
      user, so I am open to suggestions for 'easier/alternative ways
      of achieving my ends.

      What I have is a workbook with sheets labeled Sheet1, Sheet2
      etc... for yearly quarters (Q3 2004) and I have placed my stats
      into each sheet.

      Now I have created a 'summary' sheet where I will collect the
      totals from the quarterly sheets and produce pretty pictures
      etc...

      What I want to do in the summary sheet is to reference a cell in
      one of the quarterly sheets and then copy that reference
      column-wise while the reference moves sheet-wise.

      That is to say: summary(A1) references sheet1(H67); summary(B1)
      references sheet2(H67); summary(C1) references sheet3(H67);
      etc...

      1.    Does the above make sense?
      2.    Am I doing this "all the wrong way"
      3.    Can excel do this simply (without having to edit/write the
            formula over and over again?
      4.    How?  (either an explanation, example or URL would be
            great).

      Thanks very much...
