In general it's best practice to keep all raw data in one sheet with month/date field for each item. From here you may build your monthly analytics, whatever. Otherwise that's INDIRECT. You may keep in some cell the name of previous sheet.

Plus that's poor performance, each of such formula will be recalculated with every change in any sheet.
