Automatically updating a formula

[JGarces]

I have the following formula in cell D7
(=sumif(MAR!$C:$C,C7,MAR!$O:$O)). Every month I have to update the
"MAR" with the new month (i.e., next month it will be "APR"). "MAR",
"APR", etc are the name of the other tabs that contain the data I need.
Is there a way to link that part ("MAR") of the formula to a cell (the
name of the tab), so when I change the value in the cell it
automatically updates my formula?

Any help is highly appreciated,

Thanks -----

You can use indirect or edit/replace

Look in HELP for the INDIRECT() function
