Default how do I change lookup sheet within formula?

I have a series of identical sheets mapping out employee holidays on an
individual basis and I want to map them on to a summary sheet.
I have posted a simple if formula into one row to extratc information from
one sheet. Is there a way to copy this formula down the page to change the
sheet name, but keep the rest of the formula identical?

Thanks

Yes using INDIRECT(). The below if applied and copied down will refer
Sheet1!A1, Sheet2!A1 ,Sheet3!A1 and so on...Change to suit your tab names

=INDIRECT("'Sheet"&ROW(A1)&"'!a1")
